"McCall Smith's generous writing and dry humor, his gentleness and humanity and his ability to evoke a place and a set of characters without caricature or condescension have endeared his books to readers." - The New York Times
As two childhood friends, Thursday and James, grow into adulthood, their lives become a star-crossed love affair as Thursday follows James around the world, from city to city, hoping that he will one day love her as much as she loves him. Back at home, Thursday's mother (who has fallen out of love with her husband) realizes that James' father is attracted to her. In The Forever Girl, the reader is taken on a moving, and sometimes heartbreaking, journey about the strange places that love can take us and how love, even if unrequited, can shape a life forever.
