The 44 Scotland Street series is probably my favourite Alexander McCall Smith series, so I very much looked forward to A Promise of Ankles, and I certainly wasn't disappointed.5★s

I just finished
by Peter Drew which was a really interesting memoir addressing the posters that I am sure every Aussie knows.Well worth reading, pretty easy to read and I suspect it would be a good challenge book for a lot of people, it has political commentary, art, activism and memoir all crammed into one.

Listening to David Rintoul narrating the latest instalment of my favourite Alexander McCall Smith series, A Promise of Ankles is an unalloyed pleasure, and as a bonus, I get to find out how some of those Gaelic names are pronounced.5★s
