ISBN / GTIN-13 : 9781846975721
Synopsis
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.

External Reviews
"From the phenomenally popular 44 Scotland Street series comes a characteristically charming tale of budding romance and comic misadventure featuring a cast of instantly loveable protagonists." - Waterstones.
"This lovely, captivating book is the 15th in the 44 Scotland Street series, set in Edinburgh. It reunites the readers with its quirky, charming and annoying characters. I have read the entire delightful series, and this might be my favourite one so far. Written with wit and wisdom and containing a gentle, thought-provoking philosophy about life, the ability to change, love, friendship, community, art, admitting one's defects, and taking control."
"Another wonderful, charming, thought provoking, entertaining story about my favourite characters living on Scotland Street in Edinburgh, Scotland. I treasure the books in this series. I admire the author’s storytelling talent and the endearing characters he creates." - Goodreads Reviews.
