The Unbearable Lightness of Scones by Alexander McCall Smith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a totally delightful read, this! I think it might be one of my favorite McCall Smith books so far. This book--Vol. 5 from the 44 Scotland Street series by Alexander McCall Smith--continues developing the intriguing characters connected to the apartment building located on 44 Scotland Street in historic Edinburgh, Scotland. Some great twists and stories as the characters interact and intersect with other unique Edinburgh personalities. McCall Smith has such an amazing way with words--so homespun, yet deeply intelligent and weighted with delightful sensibilities. Delightful, engaging, ruminating, refreshing, and thoughtful & realistic thoughts and conversations by some colorful characters. Grab a good cup of tea--or good coffee, like the kind served up at Big Lou's Cafe--and any of McCall Smith's wonderful novels, and you won't be sorry; no, you'll be delighted and will be smiling most of the way through an enjoyable read.
