Overview

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. Pictures capture moments in time, presenting the viewer with a window into another life. But a picture can go only so far. Who are the people in the image? What are their fears? What are their dreams? In the fourteen delightful tales in this collection, Alexander McCall Smith imagines the lives and loves of some of the everyday people pictured in these twentieth-century photographs. A young woman finds unexpected love while perusing Egyptian antiquities. A family is forever fractured when war comes to Penang, in colonial Malaysia. Iron Jelloid tablets help to reveal a young man’s inner strength. And twin sisters discover that it’s never too late to forge a new path—even when standing at the altar.   There are big stories behind these simple images. Though at first glance they may appear to represent small moments, these photographs in fact speak volumes, uncovering possibilities of love, friendship, and happiness. With his indomitable charm, Alexander McCall Smith takes us behind the lens to explore the hidden lives of those photographed; in so doing, he reveals the humanity in us all.
