The World According to Bertie
44 Scotland Street · Book 4Description
Life on Edinburgh’s 44 Scotland Street is as lively and complicated as ever. Pat faces the unsettling return of Bruce, Big Lou dispenses coffee and romantic advice, and Bertie Pollock—an exceptionally gifted but deeply beleaguered six-year-old—welcomes a baby brother while trying to evade his domineering mother’s latest ambitions for his education. As Irene launches another phase of her “Bertie Project,” Stuart discovers unexpected reasons to spend time away from home, setting the residents on paths filled with comic misunderstandings, shifting relationships, and quiet revelations. Warm, witty, and finely observant, this installment showcases Alexander McCall Smith’s humane portrait of friendship, family, and the wonderfully eccentric rhythms of urban life.
