Domestic bliss seems in short supply at 44 Scotland Street. Over at the Pollocks, dad, Stuart, is harbouring a secret about a secret society and Bertie is feeling kind of blue.

Will the lovelorn Big Lou find true love on the internet? And will Angus Lordie and Domenica make it up the aisle? Catch up with all your favourite faces down in 44 Scotland Street as we follow their daily pursuit of a little happiness.

About this title

Product Description:

Bertie Plays The Blues

From one of the world's most prolific and popular authors; Alexander McCall Smith. A tale of a family who find the joys of multiple parenthood are short lived, with Matthew struggling to tell his new brood apart from each other, even without sleep deprivation noting the antidote to meanness, greyness and grimness, whilst maintaining Scottish humour.

Review:

This seventh satirical instalment of their adventures is a delight --Scotland in Trust Magazine

Often much humour can t stand up to a second reading. McCall Smith s comedy is different. Because while it is written with abundant wit...there are equally large dollops of wisdom too --Scotsman
