Further travails of Bertie
This is another delightful episode in the lives of the residents of Scotland Street, told in the usual inimitable style of Alexander McCall Smith and read beautifully by David Rintoul. I laughed out loud at several incidents (embarassing as I was travelling by train at the time!). I grew up in Edinburgh and get really homesick every time I read one of these tales.

one credit for a short story
This is abridged,it's short and used up a credit.Had to buy it as I want to get the series in order. Also had technical issues where sections were clipped or bits missing.Started looking for alternatives to Audible.

so boring
kept waiting for this story to go somewhere but it never did, pleasant writing style if you're looking for something gentle to have on in the background

This book has been read before, and.......
Well, you pays your money and you takes your choice. You either love the author or...... or you probably don't care. Most people reading this will know that the title is derived from Kundera's best selling novel "The Unbearable Lightness of Being", which itself is an exploration of Nietzsche's idea that everything that happens has happened before and will happen again. Sadly the author of this light-weight novel lacks the comprehension of Kundera, let alone the the insight Nietzsche. In all a complete waste of time.
