- Biografía breve
- ALEXANDER McCALL SMITH has a double existence. He is a Professor of Medical Law, but also an author who has now written over fifty books on a wide range of subjects. These range from specialist titles such as 'Forensic Aspects of Sleep', (the only book on the subject) to 'The Criminal Law of Botswana' (also the only book on the subject) and from the widely translated 'The Perfect Hamburger' (a children's novel) to 'Portuguese Irregular Verbs' (a collection of stories about eccentric German professors). His collection of African stories, 'Children of Wax', received critical acclaim and has been the subject of an award-winning film.

Ahí, Isabel conocerá a un cliente al que recientemente le han hecho un transplante de corazón y al que no dejan de visitar extraños recuerdos que parecen pertenecer a otra persona y que pondrán a prueba el racionalismo de Isabel.
