Ladies Detective Agency novels- though don’t they all, nowadays?! If I read that assessment on a cover one. I’m not particularly a bird-lover, but I did appreciate the illustrations at the top of each chapter, too.īeing set in Africa, invariably this book draws comparisons to Alexander McCall Smith’s No 1. A lot of information about birds is imparted, though in quite a natural, effortless way throughout the context of the plot. It is instead a not-so-conventional love story set in Kenya and the main protagonists just happen to be birdwatchers. It was in fact the perfect novel to curl up with and dream about faraway, sunnier climes and in that respect I think it would be the ideal escapist story to take away on holiday.ĭon’t let the cover or title fool you either: this isn’t a book about ornithology well, not in the true sense anyway. Though I didn’t fall in love with this book, I found it to be an entertaining, engaging read. I read the paperback edition which is 202 pages
