Journal Entry 1 by Lutrus from Canterbury, Kent United Kingdom on Monday, June 15, 2009
To the casual observer, the great enlightened city of Edinburgh, home of no-nonsense philosophers and cream teas, might appear immune to the rollercoaster of strong emotions. But at 44 Scotland Street, as Matthew and Elspeth embark on the risky enterprise of married love, the raffish portrait painter Angus Lordie has a premonition of disaster. And soon enough Irene Pollock is shocked to learn that her small son Bertie harbours a highly unsuitable ambition; the gloriously vain Bruce discovers a wrinkle and confronts rejection; and Angus finds himself facing the grave consequences of unbridled bliss, not to mention a large Glaswegian gangster bearing gifts ...

Oh I just love Bertie!!! This was another enjoyable read, filled with Edinburgh in-jokes and places that I recognised. I kept on laughing out loud and had to read bits out to my partner so he knew what was going on.

Thanks again Lutrus :-)

Loved this, just as I expected. :) A great fun read - only I feel so sorry for little Bertie and really hoped he was going to get a happy ending!

I didn't realise there were so many in the Scotland Street series, I will have to look out for the others.

I'm going to pass this on to my husband who is also a book-crosser, he's anxious to read it too. :) Thanks again for the trade Suzi.
