Summary
With his characteristic warmth, inventiveness and brilliant wit, Alexander McCall Smith gives us more of the gloriously entertaining comings and goings at 44 Scotland Street, the Edinburgh townhouse. Six-year-old prodigy Bertie perseveres in his heroic struggle for truth and balanced good sense against his insufferable mother and her crony, the psychotherapist Dr Fairbairn, going as far as to make a short-lived bid for freedom on a trip to Paris with the Edinburgh youth orchestra. Domenica sets off on an anthropological odyssey with pirates in the Malacca Straits, while Pat attracts several handsome admirers, including a toothsome suitor named Wolf. And Big Lou, eternal source of coffee and good advice to her friends, has love, heartbreak and erstwhile boyfriend Eddie's misdemeanours on her own mind.

An enjoyable read
This is a delightful, funny and thoughtful story. The reader does a wonderful job. The large and small events in the characters' lives give them and the reader an opportunity to reflect on the larger question of how to be a good human being.

Wee Bertie
As my wife and I visit our granddaughter the tedium of the drive has been nullified by the adventures of the occupants of Scotland Street none more so than little Bertie. The fact that he has the pushiest mother it's possible to imagine who employs a child psychiatrist to delve into her sons innermost thoughts and who ignores the obvious and sees only what he wants to see make for pure entertainment. There are many other loveable characters from Big Lou who yearns for love to Lard O'Connor the Glaswegian gangster.
