HEAVENLY DATE AND OTHER FLIRTATIONS
This delightful collection of short stories teems with vivid characters and exotic settings. Among other places, we visit Portugal, Australia, and, of course, the southern Africa McCall Smith's many fans know so well. Organized around the theme of the romantic encounter in all its varied forms, these hilarious stories are by turns surprising, enthralling, heartwarming, and, sometimes, just plain disastrous, but always universally recognizable.
