Overview

After facilitating a handful of successful romances, Katie, the new manager of the Perfect Passion Company, is eager to continue her work helping the lonely hearts of Edinburgh. Assisting her informally is her kind, insightful, and very attractive office neighbor, William. There is the psychotherapist who cannot stop thinking about a brief yet inexplicable chance encounter from the year prior. And the rather haughty owner of a property firm, who may require a more diplomatic touch. As will another client, who, preoccupied by the somewhat anachronistic opinions of her family, may unintentionally be standing in the way of her own happiness. Katie and William must assess each client's distinctive personality and find new ways to lead them to their perfect match, all the while considering whether there is room for their own romantic wishes. With McCall Smith's characteristic warmth and gentle humor, Looking for You illuminates the complicated ways of the heart and how love's onset, while at times sudden and passionate, can also take shape in quieter ways, imbued with intention, patience, and compassion. ""[McCall Smith's] gentleness and humanity, and his ability to evoke a place and a set of characters without caricature or condescension have endeared his books [to] readers.""--The New York Times
