Still Being Scottish in Italy: Or...When in Sardinia, do as the Sardinians do

An enjoyable follow-up book
Lauchlan's return foray into his adventures in Sardinian immigrancy still bring a wry smile.
If you enjoyed the first book, it's more of the same, and is a welcome addition even if it feels slighter and just un pocino less fresh than the first.
