The winds of change are blowing through Scotland Street. Though Bertie is getting older, he can’t resist an adventure to escape his domineering mother, and Bruce, ever the navel-gazer, will have to bring his best self to navigate the complexities of the pas de deux. While Alexander McCall Smith’s delightfully warm and witty comedy takes some surprising turns, the improbable adventures of this quirky cast of Scots will affirm the heart and joy in Edinburgh’s New Town.

The Quiet Side of Passion
Roman von Alexander McCall Smith
It is summer in Edinburgh and Isabel Dalhousie is once again caught between ‚gossip‘ and significant rumour. It is none of her business that Patricia, the mother of her son Charlie’s little friend Basil, is estranged from Basil’s father, or that the woman has a somewhat brazen attitude to childcare. And yet, it is curious. Isabel, however, has much else on her mind as editor of the ‚Review of Applied Ethics‘. Along with the work involved for its impending next issue, she really needs to get her house in order and tend to the demands of her niece, Cat.
Aus der Serie „Isabel Dalhousie“. “Philosopher Isabel gets some real-life harsh lessons as a result of her continuous penchant for interfering into the lives of others. Isabel is a very human character in this book. More than simply an academic thinker, her human flaws are revealed and she suffers the consequences.” (Leser) (419 Rezensionen / 4,6 Sterne), 300 Seiten noch günstig?
