Bertie's Guide to Life and Mothers
44 Scotland Street · Book 9Description
In this warmly comic installment of the 44 Scotland Street series, young Bertie Pollock briefly enjoys freedom from his relentlessly ambitious mother, Irene—only to face her determined return and renewed plans for his upbringing. As Irene reinstates Italian lessons, yoga, and her carefully designed “Bertie Project,” family tensions ripple through Edinburgh, while Bertie’s father, Stuart, begins to seek a life beyond the confines of home. Alongside the Pollocks, the series’ colorful residents navigate romance, family, friendship, and unexpected changes, including Angus and Domenica’s long-awaited wedding. With gentle wit and affectionate insight, the novel offers an entertaining portrait of modern Edinburgh and the complicated bonds between parents and children.
