Alexander McCall Smith

At age 4, Clover chooses her own name. At age 6, she falls in love with her best friend, James, with whom she happily spends all her time. But in the adult world, things are not so simple. Clover's mother realizes she's fallen out of love with her husband, and she discovers that James' father is interested in her. As the children reach adulthood, their connection becomes more complicated. James drifts away from Clover, but she keeps him near as she attends the same college in Scotland and then follows him to London, Sydney, Singapore, rebuilding her life in every city, hoping each time that James will see what he is missing
