About this product

Product Information

Isabel Dalhousie is one of Edinburgh's most generous (but discreet) philanthropists - but should she be more charitable? She wonders, sometimes, if she is too judgmental about her niece's amorous exploits, too sharp about her housekeeper's spiritual beliefs, too ready to bristle in battle against her enemies. As the editor of the Review of Applied Ethics, she doesn't, of course, allow herself actual enemies, but she does feel enmity - especially towards two academics who have just arrived in the city. Isabel feels they're a highly destabilizing influence; little tremors in the volcanic rock upon which an Enlightened Edinburgh perches. Equally troubling is the situation of the little boy who is convinced he had a previous life. When Isabel is called upon to help, she finds herself questioning her views on reincarnation. And the nature of grief. And - crucially - the positioning of lighthouses. The only questions Isabel doesn't have to address concern her personal life. With her young son and devoted husband her home life is blissfully content. Which is the best possible launching pad for the next issue of the Review - the Happiness issue. As Isabel is beginning to appreciate, happiness, for most people, is not quite what it seems . . .

Book arrived in excellent condition; well packed. The seller is not at fault in the time it took for the book to be delivered by Australia Post. The seller even offered to return a percentage of the purchase price because of Australia Post's poor delivery service, a fine gesture but not taken up for the reason mentioned above.

Item arrived as described, but came with a price sticker on the back. When carefully peeling the sticker off the back cover of the book tore. The book appears to be made with poor quality materials. Seller was not in the least bit interested in helping, replying essentially "not our problem". I do not recommend this seller or this product. We bought a few hundred $ worth of these and similar items from different eBay suppliers. This was the only book that was rubbish, was was their support.
