I had had this book on reserve for quite a while - in fact I had almost forgotten about it - so it was a pleasant surprise when it showed up as available on Christmas Eve day. This book introduces us to a cast of characters living at 44 Scotland Street in Edinburgh and the people they interact with on a daily basis. All of the characters have their own foibles, some intriguing, some charming and some obnoxious. I found myself quickly drawn into the various relationships and can't help but wonder what the sequels will bring. Originally published as a serial in The Scotsman newspaper, the chapters are short, humorous, full of insight and frequently leave you wanting more. 352 pages.
