I agree about Lisa Samson, but I don’t think I’ve read any Alexander McCall Smith. Thanks for the tip.

I’ve only watched The Voice a couple of times, but I completely get what you are saying. Voice is so elusive in our writing, the one thing that is hard to teach. (Although, like with singing, I think training can hone a good voice into a better one.) And just like on the show, what one person likes in a singing or writing voice might vary greatly to another person. It might not impress in the same way. And that’s ok, too. But there are some that you just know are brilliant–from just a few notes or just a few words. A couple of today’s authors that I feel have very distinctive voices in their writing are Alexander McCall Smith and Lisa Samson.
