Acerca de esta escucha

New York Times best-selling author Alexander McCall Smith's critically acclaimed No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series continues in this engaging book that won the first ever Saga Award for Wit, given to the wittiest British book of the year.

Mma Ramotswe has been engaged to Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni for quite some time, and they still have no wedding date. But she doesn't want to be too pushy, for Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni has much on his mind. Mma Potokwani, who runs the orphan farm, has tricked him into performing a parachute jump to benefit charity. While Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni tries to wiggle out of his responsibility, Mma Ramotswe keeps busy investigating four men, all who wish to marry a very wealthy woman. What exactly are their intentions?

The cupboard of life is full indeed in this charming, gently funny novel that vibrantly captures the fascinating culture and landscape of Botswana.

This is one of the books in the Ladies #1 Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall Smith. This is a top notch series and I believe that to truly enjoy the series, every book should be read in the order written. The characters and story line develop over time in the series and they are people you really want to get to know. The story lines and characters can be funny, disgraceful or tragic, but they are always interesting. Smith is a keen observer of people and has great talent for drawing characters and telling whopping good stories.
The reader is the same for each book in the series and she is one of the best I have ever heard. She gives consistly solid performances over the entire series. The characters remain the same from one book to the other. Her accents are extrordinarily good. If I had to choose between reading this series and listening to it read by this reader (Lisette Lecat) I would without hesitation choose the audible version. Purchase them all - they are so very good.

This is a lovely long series and I have read all the books and listened to many of them performed. But this book, like The House of Unexpected Sisters and The Big Tent Wedding is just a stand out. The ending lifts the spirit and in my imagination, I am there.

Simply the best

I like this series because it share the culture of the people who live in a different region.
Great for passing the time while working in the garden and offers moments of thought and reflection. It also show the methods people use to get what they want or need; sometimes that is a good thing, other times there is deception. I will continue to the next book tomorrow- or maybe even today.

This book is part of a series. I enjoyed it.

Where does The Full Cupboard of Life rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of my very favorites

What did you like best about this story?

I love the wisdom and grace of Precious Ramotswe. The characters in this book are all so very interesting. It was impossible for me to stop listening to this book. I listened from beginning to end in one sitting.

Have you listened to any of Lisette Lecat’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Lisette Lecat is my favorite. She ''becomes'' the characters. I've listened to 5 or 6 books she has narrated. She's fantastic in every one of them,

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed out loud, I shed a few tears, I absolutely loved this book. It was the first book I'd listened to by Alexander McCall Smith. So far, I've listened to it 3 times, and I plan to purchase every No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books that becomes available..
