Description
Isabel Dalhousie is a generous philanthropist who runs her life with precision and care. However, she sometimes wonders if she has become too judgmental about those around her. As the editor of the Review of Applied Ethics, Isabel strives to maintain objectivity, but her personal feelings can get in the way. Two new academics have arrived in Edinburgh, causing a stir among the city's residents, including Isabel. Isabel is called upon to help others while struggling with her own views on reincarnation and the nature of grief. She must also navigate the complexities of human emotions and the world around her. Meanwhile, her personal life remains content, thanks to her loving husband and young son. As she prepares for a special issue of the Review focused on happiness, Isabel begins to question what it truly means. Happiness is not always straightforward, and Isabel's experiences will challenge your perceptions of this complex emotion.
