THE GEOMETRY OF HOLDING HANDS - ALEXANDER MCCAL...

When Isabel Dalhousie and her husband Jamie book a table at an expensive Edinburgh restaurant 
she finds herself battling with her conscience. Lately  there has been a lull in work for the
Review of Applied Ethics  and the care of their young sons  Charlie and Magnus  is often
undertaken by their housekeeper Grace. Is Isabel deserving of such a luxurious dinner? But
Isabel holds herself to impossible moral standards. Not so  the parents of one of Jamie's
students  who have no qualms about ensuring their son's place in the school orchestra  despite
his mediocre talent. In the restaurant  Isabel witnesses a row between local businessmen 
another reminder that thoughtless ambition is too often second nature to others. Compelled to
intervene in the aftermath  Isabel's sense of integrity is observed by a fellow diner  Iain
Melrose  who seeks out her help. He must decide which of his remaining relatives should one day
inherit his estate. Isabel  he believes  would make a just executor of his will. While she
deliberates  another troubling situation arises with her niece  Cat  whose relationship with
the unlikeable Leo is causing her to behave recklessly  putting Isabel in a very difficult
position. Faced with such weighty decisions  can Isabel balance compassion and integrity to
make the right choice for all  and to protect those she holds dear to her heart?
