The series' continuing meditation on what makes a good marriage; the wedding as a social ceremony that illuminates the community around it
What this book is about
A wedding is being planned, and its complications — family tensions, questions about fidelity, the practical logistics of a large celebration — give Mma Ramotswe and her colleagues several intertwined concerns. A separate investigation into whether a husband has been faithful provides a quieter thread. Alexander McCall Smith's twelfth Ramotswe novel is the most focused on the institution of marriage and what people owe each other within it — examined with the series' characteristic refusal to judge while remaining entirely clear about what constitutes good behavior.
