Description
Bertie Plays the Blues by Alexander McCall Smith is a heartwarming and humorous novel about the challenges of family life. When domestic harmony seems out of reach, one unexpected solution takes centre stage. In this charming story, three new arrivals shake up the lives of Matthew and Elspeth, who are struggling to cope with sleep deprivation and the demands of raising their large family. Meanwhile, a young boy named Bertie turns to an unconventional solution to deal with his blues - putting himself up for adoption on eBay. As Edinburgh's most lovably dysfunctional residents navigate their relationships and find ways to come together, they discover that even in discord, there is always the possibility for harmony and happiness.
