The story revolves around the comings and goings at No. 44
Scotland Street, a fictitious building in a real street in
Edinburgh. Immediately recognisable are the Edinburgh chartered
surveyor, stalwart of the Conservative Association, who dreams of
membership of Scotland''s most exclusive golf club. We have the
pushy Stockbridge mother, and her prodigiously talented
five-year-old son, who is making good progress with the saxophone
and with his Italian. Then there is Domenica Macdonald who is that
type of Edinburgh lady who sees herself as a citizen of a broader
intellectual world. In McCall Smith''s hands such characters retain
charm and novelty, simultaneously arousing both mirth and empathy.
44 Scotland Street is vintage McCall Smith, tackling issues of
trust and honesty, snobbery and hypocrisy, love and loss, but all
with great lightness of touch. Clever, elegant and funny, this is a
novel that provides huge entertainment but which is underpinned by
the moral dilemmas of everyday life and the characters'' struggles
to resolve them.
