When I spotted this in a Rotary sale I just had to have it for bookcrossing.

From back cover:
Tender and wise, intensely thoughtful and consistently entertaining "The Right Attitude to Rain" is shot through with the compassion and unassuming intelligence that have made Alexander McCall Smith's work so beloved and indispensable across the world.

Greetings, dear reader,

I hope you'll join BookCrossing (doesn't cost anything to join!) and if you do, please consider using me, Sherlockfan, as the member who referred you. If you are an old hand at BookCrossing, thanks for picking up the book!
Either way, I hope you'll make a journal entry so all the future readers can track this book's journey.
Thanks, and Happy Crossing!

Caught at the Wellington pre-Christmas dinner at Zaika, 17/12/14.

As it rained the whole day and I wanted a light holiday read, I just sat down and read it in one go today.

I enjoy the debates going on in Isabel's head before (or after) she acts. She does, of course, reflect AMS's own morality and views on ethics and he is a product of his age and academic study - comes across as old-fashioned in these days of instant gratification. I look forward to reading what happens next between Isabel and Jamie.

Given to a fellow Bookcrosser at the February meetup at Chicago Bar.

Did read the first 50 pages but the story wasn't holding my attention so will pass on to someone else

released to the windowsill in the waiting room of Petone Station [open 6.15am to 1.30pm weekdays]

I liked it because it introduced me to Scottish life and their arts, especially their literature. I found the story a bit moralistic but the psychological insights quite interesting. A good holiday read.
