Work Description
Another delightful read by Alexander McCall Smith. As usual he gives you an intimate feeling of access into the lives of a broadly varied, and quite interesting group of people. I particularly love Bertie, and his most ridiculously overbearing mother. Angus and Cyril are wonderfully written characters. The fantastic Anthropologist, makes one realize life can just begin anew at 60! I strongly suggest starting with book 1, 44 Scotland Street. I’m enjoying this series immensely. Perhaps as much as his Isobel Dalhousie series, which were very interesting and full of interesting philosophical insights (her being a philosopher). Of course, this series also contains a fair amount of philosophy as is Mr. McCall Smith is known for (although, a bit of it from the standpoint of Berties Freudian analyst...)
