For me, Isabel is a woman with a kindred spirit, the way she thinks and ponders life's essential questions without becoming outlandish is absolutely dear to me.
She has a way of allowing her mind to wander, sometimes into odd thoughts, deep or trivial, which I can relate to.
If you are looking for a gentle way to notch you into getting off the beaten thinking path and look for a delightful journey into her Edinburgh of today, her family and adventures, you will not be disappointed.

Hello Victoria:
ReplyDeleteWe too enjoy Alexander McCall Smith's novels, particularly those in the Ladies' Detective Agency series. As you say, his gentle humour and carefully drawn characters are extremely engaging and always make one want to return for more.
At last, the power is with you, we read, and for that we are glad!
Yes, I am happy and the kids are back in school! Halleluja! <3
ReplyDeleteAfter last week, I had the feeling I was living with my head in the clouds!
ReplyDeleteI love all the heart warming stories and books you share.
Hope today, all the students return with thankful hearts to see their friends, teachers and to be educated. Election day 2012, a memorable occasion for us all.
Nice to have internet and phone today!

Ahh, Patricia, Thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt is so true, and you won't believe it, both kids went happily to school today.
And back to my grove, full of enthusiasm!

ReplyDeleteVanya, thank you so much for your kind words. We have received wonderful help and
ReplyDeletehope in turn to be able to help others, less fortunate then us! I can only imagine, what it must have been to live in a trailer for surely months at a time ...
There is always somewhere a silver lining.
