About this listen
Isabel accepts an invitation to serve on the advisory committee of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, but soon finds herself swept up in an all-too-familiar dilemma. David is the grandson of a Scottish clan chief and is supportive of Scottish nationalism. But his fervent beliefs are threatening family harmony, especially because his sister Catriona’s socialist views put her at odds with her brother. When their mother, Laura, a fellow committee member, asks Isabel to intervene, she tries to demur. But always one for courteous resolutions to philosophical disagreements, Isabel can’t help but intercede.
In the meantime, Jamie, having criticised Isabel for getting involved in the affairs of others, does precisely that himself. Jamie is helping to select a new cellist for his ensemble, but he suspects that the conductor may be focused on something other than his favoured candidate’s cello skills.
With so many factors complicating matters, Isabel and Jamie will have to muster all their tact and charm to ensure that comity is reached between all these fractious parties.

Gentle reflection
I can see this wouldn't suit all listeners but I love the series. Long may it continue.

A gentle story, with interesting philosophical topics
I found the narration speed to be too quick, as if being rushed. The incorrect pronunciation of some words irritated me: to recuse, pejorative, canard are 3 examples. I wonder how this happens. Does no-one involved in the production listen to the recording?

Enjoyable
As always AMS books are an enjoyable read.
You while away a few hours in a trivial manner & wish you had another one of his books to read next week.
They leave you with a smile on your face & a longing for a nicer , friendlier society.
