Love in the Time of Bertie
Ratings4
Average rating3.8
The latest in the hugely popular 44 Scotland Street series from the worldwide bestselling author, Alexander McCall Smith Life for Bertie seems to be moving at a pace that is rather out of his control. Upstairs, at 44 Scotland Street, his father Stuart is powerless to stop over-bearing Irene and her determination that Bertie will travel to deepest, coldest Aberdeen on a three-month sojourn. Can his friend Ranald Braveheart Macpherson save the day? And can the boys execute a great escape? Meanwhile, further up in the New Town, Bruce Anderson's property development plans are thwarted by a sudden crisis of conscience that leads to a shocking revelation. And, in Big Lou's cafe, it seems that love might blossom at last. Warm hearted, humorous and always wonderfully wise, Love in the Time of Bertie offers philosophical insight as well as sartorial elegance. There are tribulations as well as celebrations in this the next instalment in the 44 Scotland Street series.

Bertie lijkt eindelijk eens onder zijn vreselijke moeder uit te komen (ook al is ‘ie alle vijftien boeken volgens mij nooit een dag ouder geworden...)
Verder ware woorden over hondenbezitters:
“He was aware that Angus had addressed him, but there were none of the words that he recognised, his vocabulary being a poor bag of words such as wall and biscuits and sit; and, of course, he had no Latin to speak of. The limited range of canine understanding, though, does not stop people from talking at considerable length to their dogs – a fact which had always amused Angus, even if he himself did exactly that with Cyril.”
