From the Publisher:
In this fifth volume of the bestselling series by Alexander McCall Smith, marriage is much on Mma Ramotswe's mind. She's somewhat concerned that, despite the fact she's been engaged to Mr J.L.B. Matekoni for some time now and is absolutely certain of his affection, her beloved has proven most unwilling to set a date to make her the happiest of women. At present, even work offers her little distraction. The case that currently occupies her attention involves still more matrimonial problems, notably checking up on several potential suitors vying for the hand of a wealthy lady who owns a chain of hair braiding salons. Precious knows that her own suitor is an honorable gentleman who would never marry for money or prove otherwise unworthy of any trust that has been placed in him. But it's still not easy for her to be spending so much time in the company of men who do not live by such high standards. And it's worrying her that Mr J.L.B. Matekoni seems to have several other concerns that he's allowing to take precedence over their long-delayed matrimonial plans. Of course, it's only natural for him to be absorbed in properly training the all-too-distractible apprentices in his charge. And it is also perfectly understandable that he would be preoccupied about making the parachute jump for charity that the matron of the orphan farm has arranged. And anyone would worry about confronting the unscrupulous mechanics that did such a terrible job on the valuable old car that is now in his care.

Journal Entry 5 by JeepACV from Baltimore, Maryland USA on Wednesday, May 25, 2005

Another good, quick, calming read in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series. I found the House of Hope to be rather interesting, the imposition of morals and values to the "bad" girls --- and to keep calling them "bad" even when they're present --- was a sad sidebar to an otherwise entertaining story.

I'll hold on to this until I've read the 6th in the series, In the Company of Cheerful Ladies, and then ship them out together.

Thanks for sharing this one on a rather short bookring!
