This novel begins McCall Smith’s humorous and insightful 44 Scotland Street series, which takes readers into the daily lives of residents in an Edinburgh apartment building. Through the perspectives of various characters—like the young, prodigious Bertie, his overbearing mother Irene, and the romantic but often awkward Pat—the book paints a vivid picture of city life with wit and warmth. Each character’s quirks and interactions make for a delightful, multi-layered narrative that feels both authentic and gently satirical. Reviews “Charming, witty, and irresistibly amusing. McCall Smith captures Edinburgh life with heart.” — The Scotsman “A delightfully whimsical look at ordinary life; you’ll grow fond of every quirky character.” — BookPage “An endearing novel that combines the mundane with unexpected adventures in one Edinburgh apartment.” — The Guardian
