Reviews

'The spell this volume casts is as strong as ever, I am already longing for volume 15 ... There is a ribbon of humour running throughout and the characters are varied, memorable and very well drawn but I think it is Alexander McCall Smith’s voice, so full of warmth and kindness and love of Edinburgh and its people which gives these stories their unique flavour'
*The Cultural Voyager*

'With its vividly surreal cast of outlandish characters - including 'aphorism coining socialite nun' Sister Maria, and 'chino-wearing narcissist'’ Bruce - and McCall Smith’s wonderfully wry delivery, A Promise of Ankles will not disappoint'
*Scottish Field*

'Once again, old friends are met, time moves steadily on and we all gain a little wisdom as the Promise of Ankles unfolds, gently, seamlessly and in a most elegantly enjoyable fashion, courtesy of the master of words Alexander McCall Smith. Perfect summer reading.'
*Blue Wolf Reviews*

'Sumptuous, fun, witty, cleverly constructed and highly entertaining. Just what the doctor ordered in these hard times'
*SixtyPlusSurfers*
