Carol's Book Review

“In a Time of Distance & Other Poems” by Alexander McCall Smith
Carol's Book Review

Alexander McCall Smith, the author of the popular No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency novels, offers up a series of poems focusing on what matters most to him: friendship, love, animals, places, and reading. Many have an author introduction which gives the reader a bit of background on why a particular poem was written. I particularly enjoyed the poems based on books and reading. The illustrations are by Iain McIntosh and are beautiful. This is a delightful little book.

This title is available in print at the Library.

Carol is the Director of the Churchill County Library. She thanks everyone who participated in Books, Bites, and Beverages: A Literary Adventure last week. It was successful and fun!

His mother, father, Karen and Trent were neighbors of ours in Tonopah, Nevada. We moved to Fallon first and then the Kroll's later moved there also. Mother and Wanda were good friends. My brother Michael and Trent were playmates in Tonopah. Mother and my three little children visited the family at their ranch in Fallon. My condolences to Frank's family.
