The Careful Use of Compliments - Alexander McCall Smith
For philosophically minded Isabel Dalhousie, editor of the Review of Applied Ethics, getting through life with a clear conscience requires careful thought. Late motherhood is not the only challenge facing Isabel. And with the arrival of baby Charlie, not to mention a passionate relationship with his fatherJamie, fourteen years her junior, Isabel enters deeper and rougher waters.
Perhaps most seriously of all, Isabel's professional existence and that of her beloved Review come under attack from the machiavel lian and suspiciously handsome Professor Dove. Even as she negotiates a truce with her furious niece Cat, and struggles for authority over her son with her formidab le housekeeper Grace, Isabel finds herself drawn into the story of a painter's mysterious death off the island of Jura. A master storyteller whether debating ethics in Edinburgh or pursuing lady detectives in Africa, here Alexander McCall Smith is as witty and wise as his irresistibly spirited heroine.Upozornenie: Vzhľado m na častejšie obmeny vydaní tejto knihy v zahraničí, kus, ktorý vám zašleme, nemusí mať rovnakú obálku ako je zobrazená tu.
