The winds of change are blowing through Scotland Street. Though Bertie is getting older, he can't resist an adventure to escape his domineering mother, and Bruce, ever the navel-gazer, will have to bring his best self to navigate the complexities of the pas de deux. While Alexander McCall Smith's delightfully warm and witty comedy takes some surprising turns, the improbable adventures of this quirky cast of Scots will affirm the heart and joy in Edinburgh's New Town.

Good Read

The 44 Scotland Street novels exude decency, charm, delight, fairness, intelliegence, sophistication. They are a complete, cosmopolitan, full-souled enriching antidote to modern life. I love them!!

That was amazing. It helps to have read the series as there are so many characters and backstories. There's more ethics, philosophy, Scottish poets, Glasgow vs Edinburgh (sp?) rivalry and prejudices, art, archaeology, canine behavior, architecture, anthropology, social mores, and more I've missed than can be imagined. I guess that might not go down well with all readers. But for McCall afficianados, it's everything

Such a delight to read. The characters are exquisite. The stories are humorous and gentle, and the characters likeable and human

The author is particularly good at drawing characters who vary along the dimensions of insightfulness and empathy, ranging from the woefully clueless and narcissistic to the wise and generously caring. Most enjoyable.
