Meanwhile, surprises await Scotland Street's grown-ups. Matthew makes a discovery that could be a major windfall for his family, but also presents a worrisome dilemma. Pat learns a secret about her father's fiancÃe that may shake up her family, unless she can convince the perpetually narcissistic Bruce to help her out.

The cunning schemes of the Association of Scottish Nudists to the myriad expressive possibilities of the word 'aye,' Alexander McCall Smith guides us through the risks and rewards of friendship, love, and family with his usual inimitable wit and irresistible charm."--From publisher.
