2008 first edition hardcover with dust jacket and 344 pages in good condition. R65 postage in SA. The fifth volume of Alexander McCall Smith's wonderful serial novels set in Edinburgh's New Town To the casual observer, the great enlightened city of Edinburgh, home of no-nonsense philosophers and cream teas, might appear immune to the rollercoaster of strong emotions. But at 44 Scotland Street, as Matthew and Elspeth embark on the risky enterprise of married love, the raffish portrait painter Angus Lordie has a premonition of disaster. And soon enough Irene Pollock is shocked to learn that her small son Bertie harbours a highly unsuitable ambition; the gloriously vain Bruce discovers a wrinkle and confronts rejection; and Angus finds himself facing the grave consequences of unbridled bliss, not to mention a large Glaswegian gangster bearing gifts... Biographical Notes Following a distinguished career as a Professor of Medical Law, Alexander McCall Smith has turned to writing full-time. He is the author of over sixty books on a wide array of subjects, and his books have been translated into forty-five languages. He lives in Edinburgh with his wife.  

About the product Signed by Kepler Wessels on the front free endpaper. 8vo; original green boards; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. xi + (i) + 348, incl. index; plates in monochrome and full colour. Dustwrapper very slightly rubbed; slight bump to top fore-corner of upper board; gift inscription to front free endpaper, plus inscription by Kepler Wessels; edges a little browned. Very good condition."Throughout, he has endured as much criticism as praise but in times and places when lesser men would have walked away, Wessels has stood his ground, gutsed it out. and prevailed. The game of cricket has been played by many batsmen with more natural talent, by many who have provided greater excitement and by many with more flair, but by very few as brave. Why spend a year writing a biography of such a capable but unflamboyant cricketer? Because, through the story of his career, Wessels proves an eternal truth: that no matter how dark the night, no matter how great the obstacle, guts can carry you through. Even if you don't tell jokes."
