Summary

Scotland Street witnesses the wedding of the century of Angus Lordie to Domenica Macdonald, but as the newlyweds depart on honeymoon Edinburgh is in disarray.

Recovering from the trauma of being best man, Matthew is taken up by a Dane called Bo, while Cyril eludes his dog-sitter and embarks on an odyssey involving fox-holes and the official residence of a cardinal. Narcissist Bruce meets his match in the form of a sinister doppelganger; Bertie, set up by his mother for fresh embarrassment at school, yearns for freedom; and Big Lou goes viral.

But the residents of Scotland Street rally, and order - and Cyril - is restored by the combined effects of understanding, kindness, and, most of all, friendship.

I could read this series again and again. I absolutely adore Alexander McCall Smith, and his characters. Another brilliant addition to the series. I’ve never read a bad AMS book!

Wonderful

A gentle tale but not at all lightweight. Au contraire there are many issues and morals brought to bear. Who cannot feel achingly sorry for wee Bertie and I long for the day when Stewart gets some balls!

As for Cyril, a perfect little friend. Can't wait to get the next episode.

Another excellent story from AMS

Great narrator, his voice will forever define the characters of Scotland Street for me. Bertie, Irene etc. Easy listening and often laugh out loud.

Loved it
