The Bertie Project by Alexander McCall Smith


How much can an author from Zimbabwe stir up? He can create a 44 Scotland Street. His characters can travel to the middle east. Irene, Bertie’s mother is unhappy with her son’s warming up to evil modern culture. The suspicious part is that Stuart, the husband, is spending more time outside of the house and he has a new spring in his step. As each character goes through their changes, Bertie has a project in mind that promises freedom. Many dilemmas make for a delightful read.
