Miss Maeve MacDonald is a pragmatic soul. An esteemed friend, colleague, and popular English teacher at the local high school on the quiet Scottish island of Lewis. She works hard to instill a love of poetry in her rambunctious pupils, and falls into pleasant, if overly familiar, conversations with neighbors. But as much as Maeve appreciates the creature comforts of home, she can't help but feel curious about what the wider world might have to offer.
As the school year comes to a close, Maeve impulsively makes plans to visit the mountains of the far Himalayas in Nepal. Despite her initial trepidation, good fortune seems to follow Maeve at every turn. From the taxi on the way to the airport to a Buddhist stupa in Kathmandu, the kindness of those she encounters during her travels teach her that the goodness one puts forth into the world will undoubtedly return. And in the case of one genial companion, so too might a long-awaited romance.
Imbued with the unique warmth, cleverness, and charm that only Alexander McCall Smith can bring to the page, The Isle of Good Karma is an escapist balm for our times, and a reminder that acts of kindness, no matter how insignificant, have a way of reshaping our lives for the better.
