Query: Life in the Bush and Life in the World

The OutsiderIs anyone else astounded at the ability of Alexander McCall Smith, a white male author, to write stories about a Black Female Character? I am also amazed at this author's capability to delve into the simplest, yet most hurtful parts of life. He zeroes in on simple little pains that we all suffer in some form or another. He sees the majority of people like Precious to be generally good and kind dealing with the minority of hurtful, greedy, and selfish people.
