Large print book
Pianos and flowers : brief encounters of the romantic kind / Alexander McCall Smith.
McCall Smith invites readers, through the medium of sepia images, to glimpse a world long departed. In these stories, inspired by long-lost photographs, (from the London Sunday Times photograph archives) the lives of the people in the frame are imagined and then explored, layer by layer. We look again at the photograph in a new light, and say Yes, it might have happened just like that.
