From a Far and Lovely Country

by Alexander McCall Smith

Overview

"Botswana's premier detective agency is as busy as ever, with no shortage of sensitive situations requiring Mma Ramotswe's keen eye and discerning input. Through it all, Mma Ramotswe will demonstrate that there are solutions to all manner of difficulties, to be discovered as long as one is led by kindness, grace, and logic and can rely on the wise counsel of friends and loved ones. Sometimes, she reminds us, the best solutions to life's problems can be found with a bit of good humor, generosity of spirit, and a steaming cup of red bush tea."--

Editorial Reviews

McCall Smith’s No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency is one of the most reliably entertaining cozy series running…This is largely a comic novel, enlivened by Precious’ reflections, Grace’s jockeying for status, and part-time mechanic and apprentice detective Charlie’s struggles to overcome his unreliability. A total delight.”
