I picked this up inside at the library, now that it is open again! The author is well-known for his No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency fiction series. This book read like exercises in writing, little practice stories. It was a quick, quiry bunch of cute stories.
Quotes:
"...he felt that ultimately life was not entirely governed by the head and its doubts; there was the heart to consider, and the heart was not best by the same doubts."
"[he] thought about it...the work that kindness did in this world. Everything was stacked against it, he thought, but it continued. It never stopped. It was there. Always. In spite of everything."
" She had looked at the gate and the buildings beyond. Everything had that familiar, sparse look of army bass anywhere in the world. Neatness. Order. Toughness. She hated all of it--it was so alien. Men created such emotional deserts when they were left to their own devices."
