Google Overview
ans around the world adore the bestselling No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series and its proprietor, Precious Ramotswe, Botswana’s premier lady detective. In this charming series, Mma Ramotswe—with help from her loyal associate, Grace Makutsi—navigates her cases and her personal life with wisdom, good humor, and the occasional cup of tea.

Mma Makutsi, who has recently been promoted to co-director, has been encouraging Mma Ramotswe to update to more modern office practices. An unusual case, however, will require both of them to turn their attention firmly to the past. A young Canadian woman who spent her early childhood in Botswana requests the agency’s help in recalling her life there. Precious and Grace set out to locate the house that the woman lived in and the caretaker who looked after her many years ago. But when the journey takes an unexpected turn, they are forced to consider whether some things are better left in the past.

Mma Ramotswe dispenses help and sympathy with the graciousness and warmth for which she is so well known, and everyone involved is led to surprising insights into the healing power of compassion, forgiveness, and new beginnings.

A light, entertaining, feel-good read, where everything ends happily. Just what I needed to lift my mood during Lockdown No 3.

Journal Entry 10 by wingdaffodil-2wing at Norwich, Norfolk United Kingdom on Monday, October 11, 2021
REVIEW:-"I love Mma Ramotswe's very philosophical yet simplistic way of looking at things, As usual the book made me laugh out loud once or twice as well as making me very emotional at times. A good combination I think. For example when spotting a stall selling t-shirts with Botswama printed on them Mma Ramotswe said to her companion "we don't need one of those-we know where we are". The end of the story was a little bit of a disappointment to me.
I find that this series of books sometimes takes a few chapters to get into its stride but once they do they're well worth the effort of reading them. I for one will be sad when the series ends".

To the finder:-
Welcome to bookcrossing -you have found a travelling book. Please make a journal entry now to say where you found the book in case it has been moved. Then, when you have read it, please come back and make a further entry saying whether or not you enjoyed the book and why. It is now yours to do as you like with it, pass it to a friend or just leave it somewhere different for someone else to find and help it with its' journey. Of course if you can't bear to part with it at the moment then keep it, but please let me know that you have found it. If you join bookcrossing, which is free and spam-free, you can follow the book on its' travels as you will get an email each time it changes hands, but if you prefer to remain anonymous, that's fine too. Please also say what you intend to do with the book next. Thanks for coming onto the site to let me know you have found the book.

I already have books travelling in many countries around the world-a list can be found on my bookcrossing profile.

When re-releasing this book please be aware that airports are not a good place to leave books unless they have a specific book exchange shelf or area, due to security problems, so they may well just be disposed of. Also charity shops may well discard books that have been labelled in any way and they mostly chose only the books in the very best condition
to place on their shelves and discard the rest-so another bad release option.

It’s been a while since I’ve read one of these books and now thanks to daffodil-2 several of them have come along at once ! It was lovely to get reacquainted with the coming and goings of The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency - nothing much changes which is how it should be.
