44 Scotland street - Alexander McCall Smith

Fabulous !!, thats what I thought when I finished reading this wonderfully written book, and if you have lived in Edinburgh or just have a love of the city, I'm sure you'll love it too.

It is written by Alexander McCall Smith,who is also the author of the best seller "The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency". He ahs a brilliant way of describing the interesting characters in the book which include a young woman called Pat, who is on her second gap year and the trials and tribulations she encounters when she moves in to a new flat in Scotland Street with the vain Bruce, who is a chartered surveyor who captures her heart, she tries hard to fight her feelings as they go against what her head id telling her. But does she manage it !!! I don't want to give too much away.

Downstairs lives the eccentric Irene and her son who is 5 going on 15. Also living in 44 Scotland Street is Dominica Macdonald who seems to know what everyone is up to !!

All through the book McCall refers to street names and areas in Edinburgh that you will recognise. This brings an almost realistic feel to the book as you can relate to his references.

His way of writing is funny, heartwarming and thoroughly entertaining.

Enjoy!!

Susan.

Summary: Fabulous, funny and very well writen.
