Review:
A book of immense charm; a sort of P G Wodehouse meets Alexander McCall Smith (Joanne Harris)
An enchanting comedy of bird-watching, love and African life (Woman & Home)
A delightful comedy... It invites comparison to The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency books, but it's original and, if anything, has more depth (Daily Mail)
Sweet, charming and utterly wonderful on the subject of birds (Metro)
A perfect holiday read (Prima)
A charming satire - think William Boyd's A Good Man of Africa with a dash of Alexander McCall Smith (Conde Nast Traveller)
Heart-warming, I was charmed . . . akin to the No 1 Ladies Detective AgencySeries [with] a flavour all its own (Richard Fortey)
Drayson's tale, spiked with a comtemporary sensibility and wit, teases apart the strands of life in Nairobi... More than that, it's a page-turner... Charming, certainly, but far from cloying (Wanderlust)

NICHOLAS DRAYSON has written extensively about wildlife and natural history; he is also the author of Confessing a Murder, which was hailed by Booklist for its “view of Darwin never before seen.” An Englishman by birth, Drayson lived in Nairobi for two years. He now lives in Australia, where he received a Ph.D. from the University of New South Wales.

Reserved and honorable, Malik wouldn't be noticed by a bystander in a Nairobi street except perhaps to comment on his carefully sculpted combover. But beneath that unprepossessing exterior lies a warm heart and a secret passion. But just as Malik is getting up the nerve to invite Rose to the Nairobi Hunt Club Ball (the premier social occasion of the Kenyan calendar), who should pop up but his nemesis from his school days. The jokester Harry Khan, good-looking in a flashy way and quick of foot, has also become enraptured with the object of Maliks affection. So begins the competition cooked up by fellow members of the Asadi club: whoever can identify the most species of birds in one weeks time gets the privilege of asking Ms. Mbikwa to the ball. Set against the lush Kenyan landscape rich with wildlife and political intrigue, this irresistible novel has been sold in eight countries and is winning fans worldwide."; 8.0 X 5.2 X 0.7 inches; 201 pages.
