About this event
Join author Alexander McCall Smith as he launches his latest novel: The Perfect Passion Company
McCall Smith is the author of the highly successful No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series, which has sold over twenty-five million copies. He has authored several works of fiction and his books have been translated into over forty-six languages and become bestsellers throughout the world.
The Perfect Passion Dating Company at No. 24 Mouse Lane in Edinburg’s New Town is run by Katie Donald who has an innate instinct for bringing people together.
Along the way, Katie learns profound lessons about her own desires as she works at better understanding others. Although Katie has little in the way of direct experience, with the help of her amiable and handsome office neighbour William Kidd, she soon finds herself making matches for the lonely hearts tired of meeting online – and who want a more personal touch.
For fans of Alexander McCall Smith’s many beloved series and romantic standalone novels, The Perfect Passion Company shows him at his most perceptive, playful, and generous.
In the way that only McCall Smith can, these tales offer a glimpse inside the psychology of matchmaking, the search for love and companionship, and the mysterious spark of attraction that can, at times, catch hold of us all.
Presented by City Books. This special evening will include a reading, Q&A and book signing.
