Acerca de esta escucha

The latest installment in the charming and congenial 44 Scotland Street series finds all our favorite residents of Scotland's most celebrated address up to their usual hilarious hijinks.

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.

Alexander McCall Smith's delightfully witty, wise and sometimes surreal comedy spirals out in surprising ways in this new installment, but its heart remains where it has always been, at the center of life in Edinburgh's New Town.

As usual, the narrative was impressive, and I thoroughly enjoyed the book's plot. The characters were well-developed, and their foundation was explained beautifully. Surprisingly, some main protagonists were not one-dimensional, and their growth was evident throughout the story. However, the ending felt abrupt, and it would have been better if the characters were given more depth and the plot was explained more explicitly. Overall, it was a great listen.

Reform and character

Enjoyed the reference to all the variants in British/Scottish cooking and the relationship to characters involved in the story

Deliciously Readable

I know I am coming to the end of this series and it feels like the writer has run out of new ideas. I’d like more Bertie and Seeral (the dog.) Less Angus and Dominica. Sad to see Bruce become religious and Matthew and Ellsbeth are annoying and boring. Irene is now a nice person and Stuart gives her a second chance not my favorite! Sorry to say.

Not the best in this series

Can’t wait for the next in the series and with the same outstanding narrator. As usual, the stories are filled with loads of wisdom in facing life challenges. Thank you Alexander McCall Smith. Last summer I delighted in walking around many places referred to in this series while in Edinburgh. Maybe we should organize a tour!

Another delightful read

This volume's theme is all about love, and whether people can change. it is so relatable and brought me to tears a few times. So much humanity and kindness as usual.

These books and this reader never disappoint. I love getting the latest installments on all the characters. It’s so interesting and surprising to see the metamorphic changes in Bruce and Irene. Even Bertie seems more at peace. That’s what comes to mind first, when remembering this book; a sense of peaceful resolution.

A Sense of Peaceful Resolution

I enjoy the various characters in the 44 Scotland Street series. The interplay of people, subtle moral messages & the backdrop of Edinburgh mix together to create a fun, light pleasurable read.

I lived every minute of revisiting my old friends and their intertwined lives. As always the narration is perfect.

Always Enchanting

No one likes Olive…but The floral one is wonderful! And Bertie, may he get to Glasgow.

Humor in every page!
