"It's the most anticipated event of the decade -- Big Lou and Fat Bob's wedding -- and everyone is invited! But the relative peace and tranquillity of 44 Scotland Street is about to be disrupted. Domineering Irene is set to return for a two-month stay, consigning young Bertie to a summer camp. Not content with that, she somehow manages to come between the enigmatic nun, Sister Maria-Fiore dei Fiori di Montagna, and her friend, the hagiographer, Antonia Collie. And can a person really change, even after being struck by lightning? Bruce Anderson's metamorphosis and new-found outlook on life is put to the test as he prepares to leave his creature comforts for the monastic simplicity of Pluscarden Abbey. His house sitter, meanwhile, gets a little too comfortable in his new life and discovers that his talented employer's shoes are all too easy to slip into. With great taste comes great responsibility."--… (meer)

Another wonderful installment of "44 Scotland Street". From the very first page here - I am in full agreement with McCall Smith in his ruminations about life and its vicissitudes! Through Domenica he probes "tolerance"; he "explains" glances between two people who live together - so true!... And in general, he reads our mind on so many issues - except that he phrases it all in such an appealing humane way, indicative only of his masterful touch. Two unfathomable "breakthroughs'' - in the case of Bruce Anderson and in the case of Irene, two unpredictable transformations... And many more happenings with the other characters - subtle nudging, humorous descriptions - all full of his compassion, understanding of human folly and "just life". ( )

This continues to be my favorite series of all time. I look so forward to each installment every year. I always listen on audio - the reader Robert Ian MacKenzie is fantastic. ( )

Another delightful 44 Scotland Street book. Interesting to see so much change in the characters. It really makes me wonder what will happen next! ( )

Another gem in McCall Smith's 44 Scotland Street series with large steps for Big Lou and Fat Bob; surprising movement for Stuart and Irene, but little progress for Bertie, and the remaining characters. Poor Bertie never seems to escape his nemesis Olive, a younger version of his mother Irene.

Unfortunately the many historical references to Scotland went right over my head. Lots of morality and love.

Compelling, fun and intelligent read.

Domenica Macdonald, anthropologist, resident of Edinburgh, observer of humanity and believer in the old-fashioned and increasingly rare virtue of tolerance, looked out of her window onto the cobbled street below and wondered what to cook for dinner.
