A Promise of Ankles
A Promise of Ankles: 44 Scotland Street (14) | Alexander McCall Smith
3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
The latest, delectably witty installment of Alexander McCall Smith's sumptuous 44 Scotland Street series. For the residents of 44 Scotland Street, life in Edinburgh's intriguing New Town is a thing to be relished. After all, there are new faces to excite Domenica's anthropological imagination, precious moments with his triplets for Matthew to savor, and the prospect of a trip to the promised land of Glasgow for young Bertie. But there are mysteries that need solving too. Could Angus Lordie's dog, Cyril--the only dog in Scotland with a gold tooth--have unearthed a Neanderthal skull? Does the long-suffering Stuart have any hope of kindling a new relationship when Bruce, ever the navel gazer and consummate seducer, effortlessly steps into his pas de deux? And how will the patrons of Big Lou's cafe react to the menu's imminent culinary transformation? The stories of this wonderfully vibrant cast may take unexpected turns, but the warmth and humor at Scotland's most recognizable address will ultimately affirm the joy life brings us all.

June and July were pretty much trash for books. June‘s pick is the latest in a series of serial novels I consider literary comfort food. Star Mother was a good read, but not blockbuster. I would recommend it. I hope August is better. #readingbracket

I misread this as saying, “He was pursued by homicidal LLAMAS, you know.”

🤣

Texreader 🤣 I do stuff like that all the time and just keep rereading thinking that can‘t be right 4y
MatchlessMarie That generally happens when you put them in red pajamas 🤣 4y
Libby1 @Texreader - it was only later on the passage where being “pursued by Buddhists” is discussed that it finally clicked with me! 4y
