THE FOREVER GIRL by Alexander McCall Smith - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOK
The author of the best-selling and universally adored No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series now gives us The Forever Girl, a novel about love and following one’s heart, and the unexpected places to which this can lead us.
Amanda and her husband, David, feel fortunate to be raising their son
and daughter in the close-knit community of ex-pats on Grand Cayman
Island, an idyllic place for children to grow up. Their firstborn,
Sally, has always listened to her heart, deciding at age four that she
would rather be called Clover and then, a few years later, falling in
love with her best friend, James.
But the comforting embrace of island life can become claustrophobic for
adults, especially when they are faced with difficult situations. At the
same time that Clover falls in love with James, Amanda realizes that
she has fallen out of love with David . . . and that she is
interested in someone else. While Amanda tries to navigate the new path
her heart is leading her down, Clover finds, much to her dismay, that
James seems to be growing away from her. And when they leave the island
for boarding school—James to England and Clover to Scotland—she feels
she may have lost him for good. As Clover moves on to university, seldom
seeing James but always carrying him in her heart, she finds herself
torn between a desire to go forward with her life and the old feelings
that she just can’t shed.
Through the lives of Clover and James, and Amanda and David, acclaimed
storyteller Alexander McCall Smith tells a tale full of love and
heartbreak, humor and melancholy, that beautifully demonstrates the
myriad ways in which love shapes our lives.
Alexander McCall Smith is the author of the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective
Agency series, the Isabel Dalhousie series, the Portuguese Irregular
Verbs series, the 44 Scotland Street series, and the Corduroy Mansions
series. He is professor emeritus of medical law at the University of
Edinburgh in Scotland and has served with many national and
international organizations concerned with bioethics. He lives in
Scotland.
