As this late-thirties-early-forties-ish attractive woman roams the streets of Edinburgh, we are privy to many of her thoughts and observations. In this delightful second installment in Alexander McCall Smith’s bestselling detective series, the irrepressibly curious Isabel Dalhousie gets caught up in a highly unusual affair of the heart. But one can picture Isabel Dalhousie, the main protagonist, pondering: “Well, but would it be unethical to use the title again if it were apt?” Isabel, editor of the “Review of Applied Ethics,” ponders everything. The title of this book might just as well have been “The Heart of the Matter,” but unfortunately that one was taken. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As Lesbians came to an awareness of themselves as Lesbians, they found each other and formed alliances and communities.
