No.1 Ladies Detective Agency
Mma Ramotswe is "traditionally built." She took her own sweet time about marrying again, and she solves problems for ladies in Botswana, a country of empty spaces and echoing skies, a country so beautiful and entrancing that it breaks yourheart.
Hers is the only detective agency operated by women in Africa, and over the leisurely course of six charming novels, she has endeared herself to millions, awakening them to the loveliness of the sub-Saharan landscape and the traditional virtues in Africa – "in particular," says author Alexander McCall Smith, "courtesy and a striking natural dignity."
