The third installment in Alexander McCall Smith's beloved 44 Scotland Street series is sure to delight his many fans.
This
just in from Edinburgh: the complicated lives of the denizens of 44
Scotland Street are becoming no simpler. Domenica Macdonald has left for
the Malacca Straits to conduct a perilous anthropological study of
pirate households. Angus Lordie's dog, Cyril, has been stolen, and is
facing an uncertain future wandering the streets. Bertie, the
prodigiously talented six-year-old, is still enduring psychotherapy, but
his burden is lightened by a junior orchestra's trip to Paris, where he
makes some interesting new friends. Back in Edinburgh, there is romance
for Pat with a handsome young man called Wolf, until she begins to see
the attractions of the more prosaically named Matthew.
Teeming with McCall Smith's wonderful wit and charming depictions of Edinburgh, Love Over Scotland is another beautiful ode to a city and its people that continue to fascinate this astounding author.
