LOVE OVER SCOTLAND(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　The irresistible third entry to the 44 Scotland Street series
picks up with the residents of 44 Scotland Street where Espresso
Tales left off and is as addictive as any book McCall Smith has
written. Anthropologist Domenica has flown off to the Straits of
Malacca to study modern-day pirates. Back in Edinburgh, Pat moves
from 44 Scotland Street and develops a crush on fellow art student
Wolf, whose strange ways hint at a darker subplot that involves
Pat’s flatmate. Pat moves in with gallery owner Matthew, who
struggles with both a sudden fortune and a yearning for Pat.
Meanwhile, child prodigy saxophonist Bertie becomes a reluctant
member of the Edinburgh Teenage Orchestra at age six and later, on
a trip to Paris, finds himself wonderfully unsupervised.
Poet/portrait painter Angus is tormented by the theft of his
beloved dog Cyrus. The proceedings sparkle with McCall Smith’s
trademark wit (It was not always fun being a child, just as it had
not always been fun being a medieval Scottish saint), proving once
again, he’s a true treasure. Illustrations by Iain McIntosh enliven
the text. (Nov.)
