Alexander McCall Smith: Bertie Plays The Blues, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Kurzbeschreibung

Es ist wieder einmal eine Menge los in der 44 Scotland Street: Bertie Pollocks hat genug von seiner neurotischen Famile, was läge da näher als sich bei eBay selber zu versteigern? Angus Lordie und Domenica planen ihre Hochzeit, das Auftauchen einer alten Flamme ist da eher kontraproduktiv. Und zu guter Letzt kämpfen Matthew und Elspeth mit den Freuden der Elterschaft, die durch Schlafmangel getrübt werden.

Beschreibung

Even down to its well-set Georgian townhouses, Edinburgh is a hymn to measure and harmony. But on Scotland Street, domestic accord is in short supply. Matthew and Elspeth welcome three new arrivals, though the joys of multiple parenthood are somewhat lost due to sleep deprivation and the difficulties of telling their brood apart. Angus and Domenica are to marry, and Domenica has ambitious and disturbing plans for their living arrangements, especially when it appears that Antonia, in Italy recuperating from Stendhal Syndrome, may not return. And little Bertie, feeling blue, puts himself up for adoption on eBay. Can Edinburgh's most deliciously dysfunctional residents forsake discord and learn to dance to the same happy tune?
