Romance soon blossoms and together they move to a lavish flat in Edinburgh. Everything seems to be falling into place perfectly.But an innocuous, throw-away comment unintentionally causes Neil's career to collapse, and, at the same time, a cruel betrayal shatters the life he thought he knew.His only option is to escape to the secluded, remote beauty of a breathtaking Hebridean island. Here, he finds a different way of life, and new friendships develop. But he can't escape the past forever, and soon he must confront a life-changing decision once more.From the world's favourite author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, this novel is about chance encounters; it is richly atmospheric and packed with compassion and humour.Praise for Alexander McCall Smith's writing:'The author's prose has the merits of simplicity, euphony and precision. This is art that conceals art' - Sunday Telegraph'Bags of warmth and wisdom and easy, accomplished writing that begs for a comfy chair' - The Times'Charming, delightful, feel-good stuff' - Daily Express
