Novels for McCall Smith just seem to roll out rather magically. You never really get the impression his writing is work for him. Noticed this in the library and picked it up. It takes place on a train trip from Edinburgh to London where four seat mates unknown to each other share their stories about love. It takes less time to read than the actual train trip and is quite enjoyable. Nothing earth shattering but a pleasant read.
Jim and I have done this train trip and had a quite a decent meal and a good bottle of wine in the dining car while enjoying some magnificent scenery along the way.
