I took this book on holiday and took only a day or so to finish it. I have been a fan of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series for a while (although I haven't yet completed them) and found this first book from another of Alexander McCall Smith's series just as enjoyable. Perhaps, even more so given I no longer needed to struggle over the characters names. The rest of my review can be seen here.
Now, I'm ready to read the second in the series, Friends, lovers, chocolate, but thought I would give Booktagger readers the chance to be involved in a book swap. If you can send me the next in the series, I'll send you an uncorrected proof of The President's Wife by Thea Welsh (due for release by Harper Collins in March 2010). Just post in the comments or via Twitter (Australians only sorry, otherwise with the postage I may as well buy a new copy).
Thea Welsh is the author of the memoir The Cat Who Looked At The Sky (Flamingo 2003), and the novels Welcome Back (Random House 1999) and The Story Of The Year Of 1912 In The Village Of Elza Darzins, which won the 1990 National Book Council ‘Banjo’ Award.
