Mr Malik is head-over-heels in love with the leader of the bird walk of the East African Ornithological Society, Rose Mbikwa. While Mr Malik plans how he will ask Rose to the annual Hunt Ball, Harry Kahn arrives in town and makes it clear that he too has Rose in his sights. A wager is set.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"[a] quietly beguiling new novel, A Guide to the Birds of East Africa...reads like transplanted Wodehouse." Christian Science Monitor "enchanting...Readers will find themselves buying copies for all their birding friends." -Birding Business "Nicholas Drayson's engaging new novel...[a] quiet, gently humorous tale." -National Geographic Traveler "This book is a sheer delight for birders and nonbirders alike." Minneapolis Star-Tribune "A lighthearted novel about birding and a wager to win the right to call a woman for a date." Kirkus Reviews "While the reader is pulled along by the suspense of the contest, the glorious sights, sounds, and smells of Nairobi provide lovely rest stops along the way." Library Journal Starred "A Guide to the Birds of East Africa will appeal to Alexander McCall Smith fans, but definitely stands on its own and will beguile any reader who appreciates sharp wit and gentle charm." -Shelf Awareness
