The Quiet Side of Passion

The relationship of Moral Proximity. This intriguing read is a study in the ethical dilemmas that we must face at every turn. Isabel Dalhousie, the philosopher, constantly introspects and deals with each situation that comes along, within the purview of the moral and ethical codes that we should be engaged with. While trying to make her life as a working woman and a mother of two kids, easier, Isabel engages an au pair and an assistant. Both have different codes of moral conduct which Isabel must come to terms with. Alexander McCall Smith has been one of my favourite authors ever since I read the first Ladies Detective story. He has not disappointed again.
