BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP
Next meets: Thursday, June 15 at 7 PM
June title: 44 Scotland Street
by Alexander McCall Smith
Pat, 21, is on her second "gap year" (her first yearlong break from her studies was such a flop she refuses to discuss it), employed at a minor art gallery and newly settled at 44 Scotland Street, where she admires vain flatmate Bruce and befriends neighbor Domenica. A low-level mystery develops about a possibly valuable painting that Pat discovers, proceeds to lose and then finds in the possession of Ian Rankin, whose bestselling mysteries celebrate the dark side of Edinburgh just as Smith's explore the (mostly) sunny side.
A possibility of romance, the ongoing ups and downs of the large, well-drawn cast of characters, the intricate plot and the way Smith nimbly jumps from situation to situation makes this first book of a series a treat.
Sign out a copy of the book at the library and join the discussion.
NEW FACES ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!
