Despite inhabiting a great city renowned for its impeccable restraint, the extended family of 44 Scotland Street 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 m nage 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.Warm-hearted, wise and very funny, The Importance of Being Seven brings us a fresh and delightful set of insights into philosophy and fraternity among Edinburgh’s most loveable residents.
