The Comfort of Saturdays by Alexander McCall Smith

Isabel’s life continues, as she dithers around about her relationship with Jamie and is stitched up by her perceived ethical responsibilities in terms of having a relationship with a much younger man. She tries to help a doctor who has been unethical in his conduct in reporting test results for a new drug, but the real focus of this story is more on Isabel and her musings than anything else. I am enjoying her books though.

The Call by Yannick Murphy

This is a charming book that I read between 11pm and 2.30am yesterday when I couldn’t sleep. It’s a sort of diary made by a country vet on the east coast of America, a record of his thoughts as he deals with calls out, his wife and family, and then a couple of major problems that beset him with his twelve year old son and another man – called the Spaceman – from his past. It’s a delightful book and a very quick and easy read.
