Product Description

Review

Praise for Alexander McCall Smith:

"To say McCall Smith is a literary phenomenon doesn't quite describe what has happened. He has become more of a movement, a worldwide club for the dissemination of gentle wisdom and good cheer."
"--The Telegraph

""McCall Smith has few peers in capturing the quiet moments of people's lives, and his empathetic lead has one of the biggest hearts in modern literature."
"--Publishers Weekly
"

5.0 out of 5 stars Gentle Humour 9 May 2012
By Izzy
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I agree with previous reviewers that the latest Mma Ramotswe offering is much better than the previous two in this long series. The gentle humour and simple storyline are a pleasure to read. Mma Makutsi is evidently getting ideas above her station now that she is married to a wealthy man, and the small jibes between herself and Mma Ramotswe are very amusing. highly recommended.
my only small issue is with the size of the hardback book. I have the whole series on my bookshelf, and this volume is larger than the others and the cover is from a different designer. I would have preferred all the books to have been the same size.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful as ever 16 July 2012
By Jen 24
Format:Hardcover
These are my favourite of the all the series McCall Smith writes, there is something so gentle and calming about them. The characters are wonderful and I like how the stories reflect philosophy of life. I enjoyed 'meeting' Clovis Andersen and the counting of how many cups of tea are drunk. Sheer enjoyment!

5.0 out of 5 stars A solid addition to the series 29 Mar 2012
By John M VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have followed the adventures of Mma Ramotswe and the collection of colourful Botswana characters through the previous 12 volumes in the series, and was beginning to think that, with the latest two volumes in the series in particular, AMS was starting to run out of steam. So I'm delighted to report that Volume 13 is a very strong addition to the series.
Mma Ramotswe finally meets Clovis Andersen, the author of the famous (or not so famous) 'Principles of private detection', and join forces to assist Mma Potokwani. Fanwell runs into a spot of bother with the law, and Mma Makutsi (or should I say Radiphuti)and her husband Phuti decide to have a house built.
This book is full of all the usual innocent charm, observational humour, and the typical dialogue to make the reader smile, which is the trademark of the series. And the tiny white van is still running too.
An excellent addition to the series and a return to top form. Fans of the series are sure to enjoy it!

I have briefly visited Botswana so these novels decribe this amazing country with gentle insight. How anyone can write such simple stories, lacking any kind of action packed,... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars what do you mean by that?
the usual 'cosy' read, but a bit lengthy in places. I don't want to be told how to write a review.

5.0 out of 5 stars His books are always a joy to read
They transfer one to a compassionate rational world and world view, so much removed from the frantic pace we find ourselves following in real life.
