«Citas celestiales y otros flirteos» is the short story collection by Alexander McCall Smith, published by Umbriel in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
A first date can go wrong because of an interfering mother, a chair that breaks, or a misunderstanding, and in these stories even crocodiles and angels intervene to complicate everything. McCall Smith covers romantic dates, disastrous encounters, and love at first sight in settings ranging from Switzerland to Tuscany, Australia, and Africa, with humor, tenderness, and sensitivity.
Translation by Marta Torent López de Lamadrid. Originally published as «Heavenly Date and Other Flirtations» in 1995.
For readers of short stories with a sense of humor and curiosity about the tangles of love.
Sir Alexander "Sandy" McCall Smith is a Scottish legal scholar and author of fiction. He was born and brought up in Southern Rhodesia and was formerly Professor of Medical Law at the University of Edinburgh. He became an expert on medical law and bioethics and served on related British and international committees. He has since become known as a fiction writer, with sales in English exceeding 40 million by 2010 and translations into 46 languages. He is known as the creator of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. The "McCall" derives from his great-great-grandmother Bethea McCall, who married James Smith at Glencairn, Dumfries-shire, in 1833.
