Postscript summary
After being unfairly dismissed at work and cruelly betrayed at home, Dr Neil Anderson retreats from Edinburgh academia to his friend James’ secluded house on the Isle of Mull.

Product information
Full publisher description
'A call to arms for a better society' - BBC Radio 4 Often a small and seemingly insignificant event can change the course of our lives.
Not long after starting a new job, Neil meets Chrissie. Romance soon blossoms and together they move to a lavish flat in Edinburgh. Everything seems to be falling into place perfectly.
But an innocuous, throw-away comment unintentionally causes Neil's career to collapse, and, at the same time, a cruel betrayal shatters the life he thought he knew.
His only option is to escape to the secluded, remote beauty of a breathtaking Hebridean island. Here, he finds a different way of life, and new friendships develop. But he can't escape the past forever, and soon he must confront a life-changing decision once more.
From the world's favourite author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, this novel is about chance encounters; it is richly atmospheric and packed with compassion and humour.
Praise for Alexander McCall Smith's writing:
'The author's prose has the merits of simplicity, euphony and precision. This is art that conceals art' - Sunday Telegraph
'Bags of warmth and wisdom and easy, accomplished writing that begs for a comfy chair' - The Times
'Charming, delightful, feel-good stuff' - Daily Express
