From the author of the global best-seller, The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, comes a brand new serial novel set in the heart of London.
‘Corduroy Mansions is the affectionate nickname given to a genteelly crumbling mansion block in London’s vibrant Pimlico. This is the home patch of – among others – a lovelorn literary agent, possibly the first ever nasty Liberal Democrat MP and Freddie de la Hay, an urbane terrier trained to be vegetarian and respectful of feline rights.
Loafers, wine merchants, vitamin evangelists and the occasional psychoanalyst pass each other on the stairs of this delightful metropolitan des res. With his trademark wit, charm and lightness of touch, Alexander McCall Smith introduces a colourful cast of characters, full of the life, laughter and humanity so beloved in his writing.
