McCall Smith, Alexander, 1948- 44 Scotland Street series

Regular print version previously published by Anchor Books

"In the microcosm of 44 Scotland Street, all of life's richness is found in the glorious goings-on of its residents. There s Domenica, whose anthropological training has honed her observations of her neighbors; Matthew, whose growing triplets are more than a handful; Bruce, whose challenge as ever is thinking of anything but himself; and Big Lou, who may just have found her shot at romance. And of course, there's young Bertie Pollock, whose starry-eyed explorations of Edinburgh's New Town are a touching reminder that life itself is an adventure and there s joy to be found wherever you choose to look."--

Sequel to: A promise of ankles
