Book 14 in the Isabel Dalhousie series (#SeriesLove2023). Once again Isabel is asked to assist someone with their problems, and of course Isabel agrees. But this time Jamie also has a problem to solve. Will he finally understand why Isabel gets involved in these matters?

Another great installment. These are calm, insightful, philosophic novels. I‘m always happy to see a new one come out. Davina Porter narrates them to perfection.

This is another in the Isobel Dalhousie series, I do enjoy this series, it's a quiet series with lots of questions and thoughts about many subjects. Isobel is known to help people and this time a boy believes he had a previous life. She sets out to figure out if it's possible. The series continues with her personal and work relationships.

What else could a girl possibly require than a Scotsman who looked Mediterranean and could sing? The answer came to her unbidden, like an awkward truth that nudges one at the wrong moment...We do not like those are completely available, who make themselves over to us entirely. They crowd us out. They make us feel uneasy.

When the beautiful died, it was the same as when the less well blessed died; that was obvious. But why did it seem more tragic that Rupert Brooke, or Byron for that matter, should die, than other young men? Perhaps it was because we love the beautiful more; or because Death's momentary victory is all the greater. Nobody, he says, smiling, is too beautiful not to be taken by me.

America went to his head. He said that it freed him up. I've heard that normally cautious people can go quite mad there, just from feeling free of whatever it was that was holding them back at home. He was like that. He drank more, he had more girlfriends, and he was more impetuous.
