Summary:

Pictures capture moments in time, presenting the viewer with a window into another life. But a picture can go only so far. Who are the people in the image?

What are their fears? What are their dreams? In the fourteen delightful tales in this collection, Alexander McCall Smith imagines the lives and loves of some of the

everyday people pictured in these twentieth-century photographs. A young woman finds unexpected love while perusing Egyptian antiquities. A family is

forever fractured when war comes to Penang, in colonial Malaysia. Iron Jelloid tablets help to reveal a young mans inner strength. And twin sisters discover that

its never too late to forge a new patheven when standing at the altar.

There are big stories behind these simple images. Though at first glance they may appear to represent small moments, these photographs in fact speak

volumes, uncovering possibilities of love, friendship, and happiness. With his indomitable charm, Alexander McCall Smith takes us behind the lens to explore

the hidden lives of those photographed; in so doing, he reveals the humanity in us all.
