Publisher's Summary

Life for Bertie seems to be moving at a pace that is rather out of his control. In Drummond Place gardens, it seems that Olive has their future together all planned out. Meanwhile, upstairs at 44 Scotland Street, Bertie’s father Stuart is powerless to stop overbearing Irene and her motion for Bertie to travel to Aberdeen on a three-month secondment. And, further up in the New Town, while Bruce Anderson plots with old-school chums, love blossoms in Big Lou’s Cafe.

Warmhearted, humorous, and wonderfully wise, Love in the Time of Bertie offers philosophical insight as well as sartorial elegance. Catch up once again with the extended family at No 44, in this the latest installment in the Scotland Street series.

Another wonderful Scotland Street story.

This was excellent as usual. The only problem is that you don’t want it to end, It looks like Bertie might be happy now. Hooray!!!
Waiting for the next one.
