內容簡介: |
Happy with her husband-to-be and beloved son, Isabel Dalhousie
has feelings about parenthood that grow more tender daily. So when
Jane, a visiting academic adopted and sent to Australia as a baby,
asks for help in tracing her Scottish origins, she cannot refuse.
However, habitually upright Isabel finds herself beset by
temptation - for instance, to be suspicious of Professor Lettuce''s
latest subterfuge, and of her niece Cat''s weakness for the wrong
man. And when the search for Jane''s parents turns troubling, she
can hardly prevent herself from interfering too forcefully in
family secrets. As she steers a course between love and
laissez-faire, our philosopher heroine succeeds in resisting all
temptations but those which must be answered, and teases a solution
from every problem.
