Their love has survived the test of time. But can it survive fate? It is America 1772 – it is only a few years before the war of independence and the colony seethes with unrest. As battle lines are drawn up and loyalties tested no one is safe in this new country. Jamie Fraser receives a message from Governor Josiah Martin. He wants Jamie’s help to keep the backcountry safe for King and Crown. But Jamie knows what’s to come. His wife Claire has travelled back from the twentieth century and she knows what will happen to those loyal to the King of England. Exile or death. Neither prospect appeals to Jamie. But Claire knows something else. From her own time she’s read an article dated 1776 reporting the destruction by fire of their home on Fraser’s Ridge and the death of those who live there. Jamie hopes Claire is wrong for once about the future. But only time will tell…

The story revolves around the comings and goings at No. 44 Scotland Street a fictitious building in a real street in Edinburgh. Immediately recognisable are the Edinburgh chartered surveyor stalwart of the Conservative Association who dreams of membership of Scotland’s most exclusive golf club. We have the pushy Stockbridge mother and her prodigiously talented five-year-old son who is making good progress with the saxophone and with his Italian. Then there is Domenica Macdonald who is that type of Edinburgh lady who sees herself as a citizen of a broader intellectual world. In McCall Smith’s hands such characters retain charm and novelty simultaneously arousing both mirth and empathy. 44 Scotland Street is vintage McCall Smith tackling issues of trust and honesty snobbery and hypocrisy love and loss but all with great lightness of touch. Clever elegant and funny this is a novel that provides huge entertainment but which is underpinned by the moral dilemmas of everyday life and the characters’ struggles to resolve them.
