Critics Review
The moral centre of the novel is stated with restraint and elegance… For all its gentle humour, this latest novel shows Alexander McCall Smith to be a steely moralist
The moral centre of the novel is stated with restraint and elegance… For all its gentle humour, this latest novel shows Alexander McCall Smith to be a steely moralist – Stuart Kelly * Scotsman *
A gentle exploration of morality… cosy and effortlessly charming * Herald *
McCall Smith delves into the inner machinations of a modern-day philosopher whose nuanced approach stands in stark contrast to the fiery rhetoric of the day… While touching on a variety of topics, the tone is never preachy or pedantic but instead is an open examination of how to lead a moral life… Hand this title to those looking for a more contemplative approach to their mysteries * Library Journal *
An intriguing and rather beguiling book that is by turns humorous and thought-provoking * Undiscovered Scotland *
