The Right Attitude to Rain — Alexander McCall Smith

Mimi, Isabel's cousin from Dallas, and her husband, Joe, visit Edinburgh and introduce Isabel to a wealthy Texan friend and his lithe fiancee. Isabel quickly begins to suspect that the fiancee is more interested in his money than his love, but should she get involved? Meanwhile, Isabel's feelings for Jamie are blossoming, and she is concerned that Cat's new boyfriend may be a dyed-in-the-wool mama's boy. Among the misty streets of Scotland, these juicy dilemmas and philosophical quandaries provide ample material for Isabel to explore.
