The Geometry of Holding Hands: An Isabel Dalhousie Novel (13)

PRAISE FOR THE GEOMETRY OF HOLDING HANDS"The elegant resolution of…problems makes this the ethicist's best in more than a decade." —Kirkus ReviewsPRAISE FOR THE ISABEL DALHOUSIE SERIES“Alexander McCall Smith has become one of those commodities, like oil or chocolate or money, where the supply is never sufficient to the demand. . . . [He] is prolific and habit-forming. . . . [His] gift, one of them, is to inspire an eagerness to follow. . . . McCall Smith has done his job. Isabel lives. A series is born.” —The Globe and Mail “Like Mma Ramotswe of the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, Isabel has the gift of an expansive, forgiving humanity which embraces the world it inhabits.” —The Scotsman   “In Mma Ramotswe, [McCall Smith] minted one of the most memorable heroines in any modern fiction. Now, with the creation of Isabel Dalhousie, he’s done it again. . . . She’s such good company, it’s hard to believe she’s fictional. You finish [one] installment greedily looking forward to more.” —Newsweek“Sophisticated fun. . . . [S]tarring a woman who can only be described as a blend of the infamous sleuth Nancy Drew and the philosopher Voltaire.” —Metro (Toronto)“McCall Smith, a fine writer, paints his hometown of Edinburgh as indelibly as he captures the sunniness of Africa. We can almost feel the mists as we tread the cobblestones.” —The Dallas Morning News “Gentle, humorous, charming—Alexander McCall Smith invariably takes an unvarnished but kindly snapshot of modern society and the result, every time, is entertaining and enchanting.” —Las Vegas Review-Journal
