This is McCall Smith, so expect a beautifully written and moving take on humanity, warts and all. The idyllic setting on a Scottish island and the romantic elements are reminiscent of Jenny Colgan’s cozy novels and should appeal to her fans. An excellent entry point for any McCall Smith newcomer.
Smith’s (The Boy with the Bookstore) bard-inspired, workplace enemies-to-lovers romance will appeal to readers who enjoy Tessa Bailey and Abby Jimenez.
An engaging thought experiment on what will be left behind from a society literally built on extracting and re-forming the biology and geology of our planet.
A lovely invitation into Smith’s processes that is luminous and shimmering, designed to make writing feel accessible yet magical. It is a study less of what writing should look like than it is of how it emerges in moments of conscious attention, unexpected playfulness, and everyday restlessness.
Perfect for book lovers, party themes, and anyone who loves a classic drink with a literary (and hangover-free) twist. A great addition to any library for programs, displays, and sober inspiration.
Smith’s novel, which moves back and forth in time, asks serious questions about chasing one’s dreams and how that may impinge upon family responsibilities.
Smith’s diagnosis of obsolescence intentionally provides no prognosis, but it is a compelling analysis nonetheless. A careful and fascinating study with implications that go beyond the confines of religion.
