The full cupboard of life – by Alexander McCall Smith
The fifth volume in the incomparable adventures of Mma Precious Ramotswe does not fail to satisfy. Like the others it is seemingly slight, easily read and lingering long in the memory.
It may also be the last we get for a while, with one particularly long-running storyline tied up in the final pages and the author seemingly taking a break to write something else for a change.
That is to be welcomed, if it keeps the series fresh, and will give new readers a chance to catch up with Mma Ramotswe's adventures before she embarks upon the Next Big Adventure, which I really hope the author intends to tell us about.
