Charmante und turbulente Geschichten rund um die Bewohner des Hauses Scotland Street 44, eine kluge, elegante und komische Mischung, vergleichbar mit Maupins Stadtgeschichten.
Book 1 in the hugely popular 44 Scotland Street series by worldwide bestselling author Alexander McCall Smith
Alexander McCall Smith's delightful Scotland Street occupies a busy, bohemian corner of Edinburgh's New Town, where the old bourgeoisie rubs shoulders with students, poets and eccentrics.
When Pat is accepted as a new tenant at number 44 Scotland Street, she isn't sure how long she'll last. Her flatmate Bruce, a rugby-playing chartered surveyor, is impossibly narcissistic, carelessly philandering and infuriatingly handsome. Downstairs lives pretentious Irene Pollock, whose five-year-old son is in therapy after setting fire to his father's copy of the Guardian. And watching over them all is shrewd, intellectual Domenica Macdonald, anthropologist and sharp-eyed observer of the household's activities...
