Book 14 in the delightful 44 Scotland Street series, by worldwide bestselling
author Alexander McCall Smith
At the bottom of a sharply descending street - in the topographical sense - in
Edinburgh's Georgian New Town, new residents have moved in to number 44
Scotland Street, joining the already well-known and much-loved denizens of
that remarkable building. They appear to be a bit of a mystery, but so, too,
do other things. What exactly did Sister Maria-Fiore, the aphorism-coining
socialite nun, find on the No. 23 bus? Could it be the remains of a hitherto
unknown Neanderthal, homo Watsoniensis?
On the romantic front, long-suffering Stuart's hopes of kindling a new
relationship are dashed, thanks to chino-wearing narcissist Bruce,
effortlessly exercising his powers of charm. The Promised Land beckons for
Bertie who is off to Glagow for a school exchange that takes him doon the
watter. Back in Edinburgh, the Duke of Johannesburg's desire to learn a new
language, involving his Gaelic-speaking driver Padruig, has gone horribly
wrong; to be immersed in a language, it seems, can be a captivating linguistic
mistake. And the patrons of Big Lou's cafe are in for a gastronomic treat. In
other words, everything in Edinburgh is absolutely normal.
