Although some in the group thought the author failed to fully develop the main characters, most thought it was a delightful and fun read. This is a gentle accounting of eclectic people all sharing an apartment house in Scotland.

This book had mixed reviews in our book club. Some had found it too difficult to keep track of the characters. The writer's approach (as a newspaper serial) was a unique one which some of us enjoyed immensely (short chapters!) while others did not. I would read another book in this series.
