Summary
From the beloved author of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series comes a beautiful and transporting volume of poems brimming with warmth and humanity.

What matters most in life? For Alexander McCall Smith, it is friendship, love, and travel—the themes found throughout his work that have made him a cherished writer the world over. This first collection of McCall Smith’s poems reflects on
these topics with all his characteristic wit and charm.

In this delightful work, McCall Smith takes us on a captivating journey from Africa to Greece, London, North America, Mumbai, and back home to Scotland, celebrating people, places, animals, and books. There are moments of sweeping
insight and soaring feeling, and moments that will have you laughing along as they subtly shift your worldview. This inimitable writer shares his distinctively astute and good-natured observations on life, love, and beauty, reminding us of the deep
satisfaction that can be found when we open ourselves up to the world with our whole heart, and watch as it takes on a kinder and gentler shape.
