A book of immense charm; a sort of P G Wodehouse meets Alexander
McCall Smith
*Joanne Harris*
An enchanting comedy of bird-watching, love and African life
*Woman & Home*
A delightful comedy... It invites comparison to The No.1 Ladies'
Detective Agency books, but it's original and, if anything, has
more depth
*Daily Mail*
Sweet, charming and utterly wonderful on the subject of birds
*Metro*
A perfect holiday read
*Prima*
A charming satire - think William Boyd's A Good Man of Africa with
a dash of Alexander McCall Smith
*Conde Nast Traveller*
Heart-warming, I was charmed . . . akin to the No 1 Ladies
Detective AgencySeries [with] a flavour all its own
*Richard Fortey*
Drayson's tale, spiked with a comtemporary sensibility and wit,
teases apart the strands of life in Nairobi... More than that, it's
a page-turner... Charming, certainly, but far from cloying
*Wanderlust*
