The books of Alexander McCall Smith hardly need reviewing. All those my husband and I have read, and there have been many from each of his series, frame all characters and all transactions with a good deal of compassion for the minutiae of life.

McCall Smith is not soft in the head. On the contrary, he is a learned man with a broad range of experience, some of which informs his writing. Read his Wikipedia page.

I think the thing about him that says the most about his writing is his being co-founder of and active participant in "The Really Terrible Orchestra" (aka RTO). Check out some of their YouTube videos.

Light-heartedness is what shines through his books and the RTO. Not taking oneself too seriously.
