Like a Warm Sweater on a Cold Afternoon

You know how a long conversation meanders and morphs from one thing to another, presenting problems that work out as the conversation progresses? That's this book. I'll have to re-read it to understand how seamlessly McCall Smith moves the conversation from one concern to another, revealing something new about the characters the further it goes.

Play on Dream Angus god

Complicated love intrigues are teased out as author appears to imagine the effects the Celtic god Dream Angus ( title of another wonderful book by AMcS) might have on contemporary women in Scotland.

Definitely a different style of topic with a woman being the primary and young people in a lovemaking situation but Alexander always makes a great

Cracking good story

Alexander knows how to wake up your heart and engage your thoughts to a higher good.

I love this series!!!

Another beautiful installment by our friend AMS. Great narration by Amy Alexander. These characters are interesting and complex. And it’s lovely to witness their growth as they become better versions of themselves. A cozy story that I thoroughly enjoyed.

My favorite author ever

Always good hearted and wise advise for living in todays world.. fabulous storytelling as always.

My emotions about having to wait !

I loved the tension of the relationships although it drives me me crazy to have to wait!

Sweet story

I liked the characters but the end left it hanging. You need to appreciate a slow mellow story.

Book two in the series

I love the gentle themes in this book, the way the author leads you into thinking about deeper meanings-honesty, kindness, snobbery. But I am left hanging with the romance.

Not as Good as the First Two Books

The story wasn’t as fresh or fast paced as the previous books. Some of the conversations were long and drawn out. Hoping the fourth book is better.
