The only person living there, except for Bertie but he hardly counts, was Antonia and she's hardly a long-term resident. So that was a shame. Dominica living with the pirates was also pretty weird: I feel McCall Smith wrote himself into a corner with that one. Maybe it would've been better just to skip that entire year and start when she got back again? I don't really know. I'm not sold on Pat getting together with whine master Matthew either. I was hoping they'd both find someone better suited for them, but oh well... (  ) upontheforemostship | Feb 22, 2023 | This time, however, there is more of a sense that the book (or collection) is finished, is complete. And once again, it was difficult to put down, largely due to each chapter so naturally flowing one to the next. Overall, a good read, one that provides additional insight into life at 44 Scotland Street. I look forward to the next.

The residents and neighbors of 44 Scotland Street and the city of Edinburgh come to vivid life in these gently satirical, wonderfully perceptive serial novels, featuring six-year-old Bertie, a remarkably precocious boy-just ask his mother. This just in from Edinburgh: the complicated lives of the denizens of 44 Scotland Street are becoming no simpler. Domenica Macdonald has left for the Malacca Straits to conduct a perilous anthropological study of pirate households. Angus Lordie's dog, Cyril, has been stolen, and is facing an uncertain future wandering the streets. Bertie, the prodigiously talented six-year-old, is still enduring psychotherapy, but his burden is lightened by a junior orchestra's trip to Paris, where he makes some interesting new friends. Back in Edinburgh, there is romance for Pat with a handsome young man called Wolf, until she begins to see the attractions of the more prosaically named Matthew. Teeming with McCall Smith's wonderful wit and charming depictions of Edinburgh, Love Over Scotland is another beautiful ode to a city and its people that continue to fascinate this astounding author.

I find the eccentric characters in this series charming - I especially like Bertie, the precocious 6 year old with the awful mother. The books are like a quirky soap opera - once you become involved with the various people, what happens is extremely interesting. And like a soap opera, some very extraordinary things do occur but are taken in stride...
