Recommended Reading: The Lost Art of Gratitude


Sitting in the garden last night I completed yet another book by the very prolific author Alexander McCall Smith. His books and series are becoming like old friends and I am always a little sad when I complete a book. However, he is extremely productive and there isn't much of a wait before there is a new one in the shops. I am following all his various series and have no problems switching from one to the other.

;-)

This one is from the Isabel Dalhousie series on the Sunday Philosophy Club (set in Edinburgh!) and is among my favorites. Actually, I have noticed there already is another one in this series "waiting" for me!

Happy Days! 

The short resume of this one I just completed reads:
Isabel Dalhousie, philosopher and amateur solver of other people’s problems, meets an old foe, Minty Auchterlonie, at a birthday party attended by their young children. Ambitious Minty, now the head of a small investment bank, is in trouble with her shareholders. Isabel becomes involved, and is drawn into a murky world of financial concealment.

Minty is not the only high-flier in Isabel’s life; her niece Cat has just become engaged to a tightrope-walking stuntman. Isabel fears his next job – and the engagement – could end in disaster. Meanwhile, her own boyfriend Jamie has marriage in mind too .

  1. Tusen takk :o)
    Fikk ordentlig lyst å lese boken.
    Skal se om jeg får tak i den på Norli.
    Det regner og er kaldt her i Bergen,
    så et teppe, en varm kopp te og en god bok blir nok min trøst på familie ferien på hytta.

    Håper du har en fin dag :o)

  2. Hei, godt å se deg i gang igjen....siden du skriver så positivt om Mc Call Smith har jeg bestilt 44 Scotland Street på Amazon og lånt bok nr. 2 Espresso tales på biblioteket. Forresten så har de nå begynt å ta fraktkostnader på Amazon, tidligere sendte de gratis til Norge...Gleder meg til jeg får den, høres ut som deilig og lett sommerlektyre...God helg til dere.
