Description
A Time of Love and Tartan follows the residents of Edinburgh’s New Town, where Pat Macgregor faces romantic complications with her ex-boyfriend, and her boss Matthew encounters trouble at a bookshop. Meanwhile, Bertie finds unexpected happiness amid personal challenges, and Stuart seeks a career change. Alexander McCall Smith’s delightfully witty, wise and sometimes surreal comedy spirals out to include tennis-playing Rwandan Forest People, researches into levitating Celtic saints, bogus headhunters in Papua New Guinea and primary school performances of Beckett. But its heart remains where it has always been true to life, love and laughter in Edinburgh’s New Town. This signed, first edition book has been read, but is in very good condition. Bound in the original publisher’s black cloth. Binding has minimal wear. Dust jacket has plastic cover. The pages are undamaged but may have some slight creasing but this is negligible. It is clean and bright inside with little wear to edges and corners. There is no owner inscription.
