On the surface, this is a series of stories about Precious Ramotswe and her detective agency. And they are charming, often funny, stories that interweave all through the book. But it is also about Mma Ramotswe's history and its parallels with her cases. Furthermore, it documents the current state and recent history of Botswana.
I really enjoyed the book. The stories engaged me and I like the mix of short ones, that are covered in a single chapter, and the longer ones that reappear and progress from time to time. I was constantly given a clear vision of the people, their lifestyle and sound and colour that characterizes Africa.
I look forward to reading more.
