Fatty O'Leary's Dinner Party (Kindle Single) (A Vintage Short)

An all-new, never-before-published original short novel by the bestselling author of The No. 1 Ladiesâ€™ Detective Agency, about a hapless American touristâ€™s larger-than-life comical trip to Ireland.

Shortlisted for the 2015 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse prize for comic fiction

Cornelius P. â€œFattyâ€ O'Leary and his wife, Betty, plan a vacation in Ireland for his fortieth birthday, where they will tour his ancestral homeland and relax in the countryside. Almost immediately, things go terribly wrong: the seats in economy class on the plane are too small; the country hotelâ€™s dinner spread and bathroom fixtures leave much to be desired; and the down-to-earth Oâ€™Learys find their fellow guests are more than a little snobbish.
Â
In this amusing and touching portrayal of a kindly, misunderstood soul, McCall Smith has created yet another memorable character who will become an instant favorite to his many fans.
