Description
«Confortante come una cioccolata, caldo come una maglia di lana, questo romanzo è proprio quello che un medico consiglierebbe per le fredde serate invernali.» The Times su 44 Scotland Street «Uno scrittore meraviglioso, da leggere assolutamente.» The Guardian «Un indiscusso maestro del romanzo.» Publishers Weekly Quando spinge il portone del 44 di Scotland Street a Edimburgo, la sua nuova casa, Pat non vede l’ora di ricominciare tutto daccapo. Dividerà l’appartamento con Bruce, bellissimo ma insopportabile; troverà lavoro nella galleria d’arte di Matthew, che di quadri non ne capisce nulla; trascorrerà piacevoli serate con l’eccentrica dirimpettaia Domenica. Intanto al piano di sotto Bertie, bambino prodigio, cerca di far capire alla madre Irene che preferirebbe rugby e trenini elettrici ai corsi di yoga, sassofono e italiano. A unire tutti un misterioso tentativo di furto e la caccia a un quadro che potrebbe essere una crosta o valere una fortuna. Con il tocco leggero e divertito che lo contraddistingue, McCall Smith ci invita ancora una volta a perderci con lui per le strade della sua amata Edimburgo. E seguirlo è un vero piacere.
