The Full Cupboard of Life (2003)

Just wonderful. So easy to read. So wholesome and pleasant. This series, so far, is so refreshing. I love these books. I am taken to Botswana and loving it. ( )

Wow--I can not say how much I DON'T like this series. I picked this one up by accident, thinking it was from another one of McCall Smith's series. Just written in a third grade mentality IMHO, characters seem to be too passive, I just really hated it. This was my second try at a book at this series and I will not try again. What the hell is all the fuss about??? ( )

Mma Ramotswe must suss out potential boyfriends. Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni has agreed to do a parachute drop for charity. And then there is the matter of their extended engagement. This book is packed with anecdotes and pithy comments. ( )

I love this series! As always, the mysteries are solved with insight into the moral and philosophical aspects of human behavior, ( )

Another engaging and insightful entry in the series. In this one, the moral lesson of the book deals with looking beneath the surface because things – and people – are not always what they appear to be on first glance. As always, there are three cases for the No 1 Ladies to resolve with the last one ending in an especially delightful way. ( )
