Riassunto

It's a conspiracy! Everyone at Corduroy mansion - that crumbling but beloved mansion in London's Pimlico - is struggling with their nearest and dearest. In the 3rd volume of life at Corduroy Mansions, Alexander McCall Smith's genius for storytelling, eye for human foibles and joy in the absurdities of modern life conspire to produce page after page of witty entertainment and beautufully observed characters. With friends like these, who needs, well, anything else?

Recensione:

The true elegance of the McCall Smith novel-writing machine lies in the fact that for all the comic absurdity of storylines no sooner have we finished with the story of the reluctant gigolo, for example, than we are being introduced to an English-speaking yeti the stories themselves have a very sure and sometimes detailed moral sensibility. --The Scotsman

His thinking is subtle, his observations of human nature and society acute, his plotting watertight, his characters vivid and his turn of phrase sometimes astonishingly beautiful and moving. --Sydney Morning Herald
