In this charming series, Mma Ramotswe navigates her cases and her personal life with wisdom, and good humor—not to mention help from her loyal assistant, Grace Makutsi, and the occasional cup of tea.

The Uncommon Appeal of Clouds / Alexander MacCall Smith

Aucun avis sur cette notice. Titre : The Uncommon Appeal of Clouds Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Alexander MacCall Smith Editeur : London : Little, Brown Année de publication : 2012 Importance : 246 p. Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4087-0415-8 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : [Centre d'intérêt] Livre en anglais Résumé : As a mother, wife, employer and editor of the Review of Applied Ethics, Isabel Dalhousie is aware that to be human is to be responsible. So when a neighbour brings her a new and potentially dangerous puzzle to solve, once again Isabel feels she has no option but to shoulder the burden. A masterpiece painting has been stolen from Duncan Munrowe, old-fashioned philanthropist, father to two discontented children, and a very wealthy man. As Isabel enters into negotiations with the shadowy figures who are in search of a ransom, a case where heroes and villains should be clearly defined turns murky: the list of those who desire the painting - or the money - lengthens, and hasty judgement must be avoided at all cost. Morals, it turns out, are like Scottish clouds: complex, changeable and tricky to get a firm grip on; they require a sharp observational eye, a philosophical mindset, and the habit of kindness. Fortunately for those around her, Isabel Dalhousie is in possession of all three.
