Mysteries of love, romance, and truth telling lie at the heart of Isabel Dalhousie's concerns in Alexander McCall Smith's new Sunday Philosopher's Club novel.

Isabel's niece, Cat, is still worshipped by the young musician, Jamie, but Cat has a new and unsuitable love interest. Meanwhile Isabel's Texan cousins have arrived in Edinburgh and are provoking a quite separate set of dilemmas.

In between these events and complications, Edinburgh life continues, calmly sailed through by Isabel, her housekeeper, Grace, and, of course that cautious resident of Isabel's garden, brother Fox. His alone is the uncomplicated existence....

Narrator spoils this story

Love the story but unfortunately the narrator puts a different spin on the main character who is not such an obviously upper class person!
Isobel is kind and generous not haughty !

Awful Narrator

Isabel is 38 and Jamie 24, and the narrator makes them sound like 75 years old. Really bad, The story as always by AMS is excellent.
