Despite inhabiting a great city renowned for its impeccable restraint, the extended family of 44 Scotland Street - Edinburgh's most lovable residents - is trembling on the brink of reckless self-indulgence. Matthew and Elspeth receive startling and expensive news on a visit to the infirmary; Angus and Domenica are contemplating an Italian menage a trois; and even Big Lou is overheard discussing cosmetic surgery. But when Bertie Pollock - six years old and impatient to be seven - mislays his meddling mother Irene one afternoon, a valuable lesson is learned: that wish-fulfilment is a dangerous business.
