Currently reading. So far it's fun. A serial mystery written by female mystery writers.

Irene Pollack is a terrible mother. She wants to turn her son Bertie into a genius. She forces him to do Yoga and speak Italian and play saxophone and go to psychoanalysis and wear pink dungarees to protest against gender inequality. And he can‘t eat pizza. Or ice cream.

Poor Bertie. And all along, he already IS a genius. He is thoughtful and clever and oh so very kind.

Libby1 @Mdargusch - yippee! The first book in this series is called 44 Scotland Street. It focuses on a number of characters but Bertie is by far the star of the show; and Irene is definitely the pantomime villain! 6y
Libby1 @BookishMe - I just want to be his mummy for a day. He‘s such a dear. 6y
BookishMe @Libby1 indeed 💗💗 6y
Meredith3 Poor Bertie!!! 6y
emilyhaldi I feel like I need to read about little Bertie!!! He sounds endearing ☺️☺️☺️ 6y
Reviewsbylola This is one of those authors I‘ve never read but I feel like I should. 6y
LeslieO ❤️Bertie! But I'm behind in the series. Haven't read this one yet. 6y
Cinfhen I‘m already in love with Bertie and we haven‘t even met 😂💕 6y
Herschelian Love the whole series - best to read it in order so you grow with Bertie. 6y
Libby1 I agree with @Herschelian . I think it‘s best to start with 44 Scotland Street, which is the beginning of Bertie‘s story. @Meredith3 , @emilyhaldi , @Reviewsbylola , @LeslieO , @Cinfhen - I am not exaggerating when I say that Bertie is one of my favourite characters of all time, and that I‘ve never laughed so much over a series of books as I have with this one. 6y

The soap opera continues with some new characters and at the end of this volume the return of Irene (boo, hiss)

Another excellent entry in this series

... and the obvious, for many, is that love, even if it is not exactly a recurrent infection, visits us more than once. And yet even if this is true, a new love may indeed be stronger, more absorbing, than an old one, just as a new cold may be more severe than the cold we had six months ago.
