44 SCOTLAND STREET - Book 3 The residents and neighbors of 44 Scotland Street and the city of Edinburgh come to vivid life in these gently satirical, wonderfully perceptive serial novels, featuring six-year-old Bertie, a remarkably precocious boyjust ask his mother. 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 Lordies 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 Smiths 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.

Love Over Scotland. 😍

Another of my beloved Scotland Street or Bertie books.

I love Scotland!

I love Edinburgh!

I love 'neeps and tatties!

OK. Maybe I've gone too far. 😉

Hobbinol This series sounds fun🙂 8y
Libby1 @Hobbinol - it is. It was originally written as an experiment of writing a serial novel. The author published a chapter a day in The Scotsman newspaper. The characters hit their stride within a few books, and I've never laughed while reading as much as I have with this series. 8y
slhbooks The first one didn't grab me, but based on what you've said, I think I should give this series another go. 8y
Libby1 @slhbooks - yes, they definitely improve. Bertie becomes pretty much the star of the show. Just right, too. 8y
