Espresso Tales
7 journalers for this copy...
Fans will welcome the second installment in the bestselling 44 Scotland Street series. Full of McCall Smith's gentle humor and sympathy for his characters, "Espresso Tales" is also an affectionate portrait of a city and its people who, in the author's own words, "make Edinburgh one of the most vibrant and interesting places in the world."

Plockade snabbt åt mig denna på Bokmässan eftersom jag är väldigt förtjust i hans Mma Ramotswe-serie. Ska bli kul att läsa!!
I want to go to Edinburgh after reading the two first novels in this series. I love the "Brittishness" of these books and the characters are nice to get to know even if they're not all nice! =) I'm a bit worried about Bertie and I think his mum is awful. I hope he'll be alright in the books to come.

Såg att första var läst redan, här kommer del 2 och 3! =)
Lovely! Thanks a lot!!
I love this! Lots of nice, kind (and not so kind, actually) and generous people.
Finally on the road again!
Förlåt! Den här boken kom ju för flera dagar sedan men jag lyckades lägga den åt sidan och glömma att registrera att den kommit. Den är i alla fall här nu och jag har precis börjat läsa den första delen i serien, 44 Scotland Street. Tack så mycket Babelfisk för att du skickade den till mig!
Till Gunmarga :)

The book was in my mailbox today. Thank you Victoria.
covertext: Back are all our favorite denizens of a Georgian townhouse in Edinburgh. Bertie, the immensely talanted six-year-old, is now enrolled in kindergarten, and much to his dismay, has been clad in pink overalls for his first day of class. Bruce has lost his job as a surveyor and, between admiring glances in the mirror, is contemplating becoming a wine merchant. Pat is embarking on a new life at Edinburgh University and perhaps on a new relationship, courtesy of Domenica, her witty and worldly-wise neighbor. McCall Smith has much in store for them as the brief spell of glorious summer sunshine gives way to fall, a season cursed with more traditionally Scottish weather.
Full of McCall Smith's gentle humor and sympathy for his characters, Espresso Tales is also an affectionate portrait of a city and its people who, in the author's own words, "make it one of the most vibrant and interesting places in the world."
Edit. My opinion: Here you can continue to follow the different characters that were previously seen in 44 Scotland Street. The ones I found most interesting was the little boy, Bertie, Pat and Domenica. Bertie's father responded at last on his wife's way of bringing up their son.
A book that I chose to read every now and then which I think fits into this sort of low key literature.

Thank you very much for sending me such a great birthdy surprise :-)
I love what you sent to me and will be trying my first Alexander McCall Smith soon. (All other I had were just passing through, not read by me.)
I'll keep you posted, although it may take a while before I get to it.
ET to correct misspelled words.

Since MTBR is very high and this is not a book that I am likely to read (others by this author also 'passed by') I am sending it on to a new reader, who has it on their wishlist.

Happy reading and Happy BookCrossing!
What a lovely surprise! Came back from a holiday and two wishlist books + a bookcrossing card from a postcrosser sat on my doorstep. Will add to my Mnt TBR and dream about the day all my tags are done and I'll get to read this.
