Description

A chance encounter can change the course of our lives. For Neil, it's a new job and a romance that blossoms in Edinburgh. But an innocuous comment sets his career back and a betrayal shatters his life. Seeking solace, he escapes to a remote Hebridean island, where a new way of life and friendships develop. Yet, he cannot escape the past forever, and a life-changing decision looms. Alexander McCall Smith's novel is a richly atmospheric tale of chance encounters, packed with compassion and humour. The author's writing is marked by simplicity, euphony and precision, making for easy and accomplished storytelling. Praise for Alexander McCall Smith's writing has been widely acknowledged, with critics noting the warmth, wisdom and charm of his work.
