2015., Adults, Random House Call No: FIC SMI Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Series Title: 44 Scotland Street Volume: #10Summary Note: Things are looking up for seven year old Bertie Pollock. The arrival of his spirited grandmother and the absence of his meddlesome mother-- who is currently running a book club in a Bedouin hare (don't ask) -- bring unforeseen blessings: no psychotherapy, no Italian lessons, and no yoga classes. Meanwhile, surprises await Scotland Street's grown ups. Matthew makes a discovery that could be a major windfall for his family. Pat learns a secret about her father's fiancee. And the Duke of Johannesburg finds himself in sudden need of an explanation -- and an escape route -- when accosted by a determined guest at a soiree. From the cunning schemes of the Association of Scottish Nudists to the myriad expressive possibilities of the word 'aye,' Alexander McCall Smith guides us through the risks and rewards of friendship, love and family with his usual inimitable wit and irresistible charm.
