The Uncommon Appeal of Clouds

Isabel Dalhousie leads an enviable life in Edinburgh, with time for cloud-gazing, civilised conversation and good coffee from Cat's delicatessen. Alongside these pastimes, she must also keep pace with the varied pursuits of her musician husband and their young son Charlie, who is exhibiting the first, rather worrying signs of mathematical genius.

An unexpected appeal for help from a collector who has been the victim of an important art theft threatens to take her far outside of her comfort zone.

As an incorrigible rescuer of others, Isabel can hardly refuse to assist in the collector's negotiations with those holding his beloved painting, however shadowy the circumstances may be.

The Uncommon Appeal of Clouds invites readers into a world where the allure of mystery is intertwined with the everyday beauty of life.
