The Geometry of Holding Hands

Complications. Readers who enjoy Alexander McCall Smith’s Isabel Dalhousie series will love the 13th installment, a novel titled, The Geometry of Holding Hands. I kept waiting to understand the title, and it came at the very end of the book, so be patient. As always, there are ethical concerns that philosopher Isabel grapples with, and her musician husband, Jamie, offers love and clarity to all the complications that develop in this novel. Smith has the ability to present readers with domestic situations, add conflict and complexity, and leave us very satisfied with human nature by the end of the book.
