The story revolves around the comings and goings at No. 44 Scotland Street, a fictitious building in a real street in Edinburgh. Immediately recognisable are the Edinburgh chartered surveyor, stalwart of the Conservative Association, who dreams of membership of Scotland's most exclusive golf club. We have the pushy Stockbridge mother, and her prodigiously talented five-year-old son, who is making good progress with the saxophone and with his Italian. Then there is Domenica Macdonald who is that type of Edinburgh lady who sees herself as a citizen of a broader intellectual world. In McCall Smith's hands such characters retain charm and novelty, simultaneously arousing both mirth and empathy. 44 Scotland Street is vintage McCall Smith, tackling issues of trust and honesty, snobbery and hypocrisy, love and loss, but all with great lightness of touch. Clever, elegant and funny, this is a novel that provides huge entertainment but which is underpinned by the moral dilemmas of everyday life and the characters' struggles to resolve them.

Wonderfully quirky tale of everyday life in Edinburgh with remarkably well-drawn characters and fine narrating.

Even Better than book.

I was unsure whether I would like this after reading the other reviews, which are pretty mixed. I was so pleasantly surprised, Alexander McCall Smith has created a world in which the reader/ listener can get totally immersed. The wonderful cast of characters and their day to day triumphs and tribulations, make for compelling listening.
This is definitely a character rather than a plot driven work, but it is certainly not dull! Very well narrated, funny and poignant; I highly recommend this audiobook.

Wonderful

What a shame the narrator read so much in an English accent. I think l will read the next one not listen to it on audio.

Quirky perfect portrait of Edinburgh characters shame the narrative was English.
