c2007., A. A. Knopf Canada Call No: SC MYS Fic McC Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Series Title: The Sunday Philosophy Club series Volume: 4Summary Note: "In addition to being the nosiest and most sypathetic philosopher you are likely to meet, Isabel is now a mother. Charlies, her newborn son, presents her with a myriad wonders of a new life, and doting father Jamie presents her with an intriguing proposal: marriage. In the midst of all this, she receives a disturbing letter announcing that she has been ousted as editor of the Review of Applied Ethics by the ambitious Professor Dove. None of these things, however, in any way diminshes Isabel's curiosity. And when she attends an art auction, she finds an irresistable puzzle: two paintings attributed to a now-deceased artist appear on the market at the same time, and both of them exhibit some unusual characteristics. Are these paintings forgeries? This proves to be sufficient fodder for Isabel's inquisitiveness. So she begins an investigation... and soon finds herself diverging from her philosophical musings about fatherhood onto a path that leads her into the mysteries of the art world and the soul of an artist."--Inside jacket.

2011., Knopf Canada Edition: ebook ed. Summary Note: In this Isabel Dalhousie original short story, available exclusively in electronic format, our intrepid heroineaccused by a distraught wife of being the "other woman"makes a surprising discovery as she attempts to defend her reputation.Summer in Edinburgh is a season of delicate sunshine and showers, picnics with loved ones in blossoming gardens, and genteel celebrations of art and music. But Isabel Dalhousieœs peaceful idyll is broken when a single meeting over coffee with fellow philosopher Dr. George McLeod brings an irate phone call from his wife, Roz, who implacably accuses Isabel of conducting an affair with her husband. Wounded by the injustice of Rozœs wild allegation and concerned both for her standing among the gossipy group of her scholarly peers and for Rozœs apparent state of hysteria, Isabel sets out to discover more about the McLeods, and to set the record straight before the bitterness in their marriage poisons her own reputation. For insight into the McLeodsœ relationship she turns to Millie, who is both an old acquaintance of Isabelœs and a university colleague of Georgeœs. In this engaging, intelligently observed story, Alexander McCall Smithœs sharp-eyed heroine is reminded once again to avoid jumping to hasty conclusions about the lives of others, and to value friendship wherever itœs found.
