The Forever Girl

Alexander McCall Smith must be the most prolific writer alive, he seems to pop out a new book every few months.

One of his latest, The Forever Girl, is set in the Cayman Islands, then Scotland, England, Austalia, and Singapore; we get a look into the lives of wealthy expats raising their children in exotic locations. The story centers around Clover and her lifelong love for James, a boy she grew up with, but never dated.

Although different from his previous books, the novel is full of McCall Smith's usual charm, wit and humor. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
