Like all of McCall Smith's books about Mma Romastwe, I loved this book. It is so refreshing reading his books. Mma deals with all kinds of crazy things and manages to maintain perspective: something I wish I could do better.
This installment in the series deals with the temptation to lie because we've made a mistake and coming to terms with the outfall of those lies--it's better to just simply tell the truth as we all know. The main case in Miracle involves Mma attempting to find a woman her family. After discovering in her adulthood that she was adopted, the woman wishes to find out if she has other family members. Mma makes a rather big mistake in this case, but it all turns out well in the end.
Building on the theme of mistakes, Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni makes one of his own in trusting in a doctor who said he could cure Motholeli of her paralysis. But, Motholeli, mature beyond her years, accepts this mistake and moves on and accepts her fate in life.
All in all, this is a great read. A wonderful reprieve from all the political heckling and miseries on tv and a fun stop over in the life of Mma Romatswe et al. I look forward to the next edition!

You need to write descriptions for book companies on the inside of books and covers. You make me want to read a book from what you say in just a few words. Mom
