Alexander McCall Smith wrote in the foreword of this book that the idea came from a trip to California where he met Armistead Maupin and how he longed for a series like Tales of the City. 44 Scotland Street has some distant likeness to Tales of the City but it's definitely its own world and "douce folie". There's just enough characters to make it big enough but not too many that you can't follow there lives around. It's shiny, it's bubbly, it's definitely critical with a sharp view of some behaviours. I liked it a lot. More like 3 3/4 stars. Good thing I have the next two novels in my TRP.
