In this beguiling book, \u003cem\u003eAlexander McCall Smith\u003c\/em\u003e casts his eye over five chanced-upon photographs from the era of black-and-white photography and imagines the stories behind them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho were those people, what were their stories, why are they smiling, what made them sad? What emerges are surprising and poignant tales of love and friendship in a variety of settings—an estate in the Highlands of Scotland, a travelling circus in Canada, an Australian gold-mining town, a village in Ireland, and the Scottish capital, Edinburgh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSome will find joy and fulfilment, others would prefer happier endings. Each of them, though, will find love, and that is ultimately what matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47536421535980,"sku":"9781846973291","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781846973291-chance-developments.jpg?v=1776381443","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/chance-developments-by-alexander-mccall-smith-9781846973291","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
