"For Those Who Like Unstressful Stories" according to Karen A. Charbonneau. Charming. I read this short book of stories in two sittings. Wide margins on a physically small book, but the large print was easy on old eyes. I've never read McCall Smith's books, but may take a look at his Scottish mysteries.

Before I started reading I would imagine what stories I would create, The creative genius of this author shamed me it was fun reading with lots of surprises Please more!!!
Both uplifting and at times bittersweet and emotional, this collection is sure to delight both McCall Smith fans and newcomers alike.” —Publishers Weekly “In all these stories, love and goodness ultimately win out, but the charming details and bittersweet human cost are what resonate.” —Kirkus Reviews“A profoundly moving exploration of the idea that, sometimes, love really can conquer all.” —The Scotsman“These stories are full of insight and empathy They are works of depth and beauty that would not be shamed in the company of the world's great short stories.”—The Sydney Morning HeraldFrom the Hardcover edition.. Praise for Alexander McCall Smith&rsquo
From the bestselling author of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series comes this splendid collection. The image of a woman haloed by light in a train station becomes the lighthearted tale of a nun's decision to leave the sisterhood and discover what the big city has to offer. Charming and poignant, this collection brims with the flourishes of grace and humor that could only come from the pen of Alexander McCall Smith.(With black-and-white photographs throughout.)From the Hardcover edition
