Another lovely book from one of my favourite authors. I love Alexander McCall Smith's books because they are gentle, witty and meandering, therefore very easy to read / listen to. He has such an excellent grasp of humanity, relationships and life in general. This one is a standalone novel, set in Edinburgh and Mull; Neil leaves Edinburgh suddenly after various unpleasant work and relationship based events, and heads to Mull to stay in a friend's cottage. I enjoyed the story very much, as well as the excellent narration.
With grateful thanks to NetGalley and Bolinda Audiobooks for my advance audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I did like this book but I listened to the audiobook and I found myself having to concentrate more than normal on the narrator.
I enjoyed it and thought it was a good story. I felt for the main character and it kept me interested.
