nuhafariha 's review for:
The Geometry of Holding Hands
by Alexander McCall Smith
Thank you to Knopf Doubleday Publishing and NetGalley for the Advanced Reader's Copy!
Available July 28th 2020
It seems like time keeps going and Alexander McCall Smith's novels stand still in their genuine, gentle warmth. Like every McCall Smith classic, it is a novel best read while drinking a pot of fresh hot tea and, in the case of Isabel Dalhousie, a side of shortbread biscuits. While some of the Dalhousie's inner dialogue does show the hallmarks of white Scottish male thought, like the defense of capitalism in medical pharmacy, there is a certain amount of charm belying this tale through the streets of Edinburgh. When a stranger places their estate in Isabel's hands, she feels like there's a mystery afoot. Sidetracked by a devilish potential son in law, a failing delicatessen and a host of personalities, will Dalhousie ever get to the bottom of this mystery? Another enjoyable read.
