"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."--… (altro)

Another wonderful installment of "44 Scotland Street". From the very first page here - I am in full agreement with McCall Smith in his ruminations about life and its vicissitudes! Through Domenica he probes "tolerance"; he "explains" glances between two people who live together - so true!... And in general, he reads our mind on so many issues - except that he phrases it all in such an appealing humane way, indicative only of his masterful touch. Two unfathomable "breakthroughs'' - in the case of Bruce Anderson and in the case of Irene, two unpredictable transformations... And many more happenings with the other characters - subtle nudging, humorous descriptions - all full of his compassion, understanding of human folly and "just life". ( )

This continues to be my favorite series of all time. I look so forward to each installment every year. I always listen on audio - the reader Robert Ian MacKenzie is fantastic. ( )

Another delightful 44 Scotland Street book. Interesting to see so much change in the characters. It really makes me wonder what will happen next! ( )

Another gem in McCall Smith's 44 Scotland Street series with large steps for Big Lou and Fat Bob; surprising movement for Stuart and Irene, but little progress for Bertie, and the remaining characters. Poor Bertie never seems to escape his nemesis Olive, a younger version of his mother Irene.

Unfortunately the many historical references to Scotland went right over my head. Lots of morality and love.

Compelling, fun and intelligent read.
