Just finished " The no.1 Ladies' Detective Agency "... first in a series...( received two Booker Judges Special Recommendations, and voted one of the International Books of the Year by the Times Literary supplement )
a true delight!...... pure escapism to another country in a " seemingly " other time...Mma Ramotswe is a charachter never to be forgotten....from her " platonic " male friend, her daily redbush tea, her title of " the only lady private detective in Botswana "....... Author Alexander McCall Smith captures the " feeling " of Africa and the essence of this woman in a very straightforwardly simple and appealing writing style...........
Up until the very last page,on the last sentence a beautiful surprise brought a tear to my eye...
