Notes From Your Bookseller
If a picture is worth 1,000 words, just imagine what Alexander McCall Smith would do with a picture. Smith, or Sandy as his friends call him, ventures into the world of heart-to-heart with his fictionalized rendering of photos found in the London Sunday Times. After reading this collection, you will want to be his friend. Sandy knows his way around a mystery. Reading these short stories gives us pause to consider his understanding of mysteries of the heart.
In Pianos and Flowers we are invited, through the medium of sepia images, to glimpse a world long departed. In these stories, inspired by longlost photographs, the lives of the people in the frame are imagined and then explored, layer by layer. There are big stories in these simple pictures.
