Book Review: Espresso Tales
Summary: 5 Stars
Fascinating read. McCall Smith brought all the characters to life. I found myself on the edge of my seat most of the time wondering what would happen to Pat and Matthew, would Stewart help Bertie live like a normal little boy...? Just plain good stuff. I can't wait for the next one.
Summary of Espresso Tales
Alexander McCall Smith's many fans will be pleased with this latest installment in the bestselling 44 Scotland Street series.?
Back are all our favorite denizens of a Georgian townhouse in Edinburgh. Bertie the immensely talented six year old is now enrolled in kindergarten, and much to his dismay, has been clad in pink overalls for his first day of class. Bruce has lost his job as a surveyor, and between admiring glances in the mirror, is contemplating becoming a wine merchant. Pat is embarking on a new life at Edinburgh University and perhaps on a new relationship, courtesy of Domenica, her witty and worldly-wise neighbor.?McCall Smith has much in store for them as the brief spell of glorious summer sunshine gives way to fall a season cursed with more traditionally Scottish weather.
Full of McCall Smith's gentle humor and sympathy for his characters, Espresso Tales is also an affectionate portrait of a city and its people who, in the author's own words, "make it one of the most vibrant and interesting places in the world."
