( ) This is one of the best No. 1 Ladies novels in a while. A misunderstanding between Precious and her friend and colleague, Mma Makutsi, creates tension, and carries through most of the story. I confess that I was hoping as the story unfolded that Mma Makutsi would get a bit of a comeuppance, since she has evolved into a character I don't like very much. But, the conclusion brings about something else, and I can only hope that Mma Makutsi learns some new life skills without having to be dressed down too harshly by Mma Ramotswe. This story is brimming with the humanity that I have come to expect from this great lady, and I continue to be satisfied with the continuing saga of Botswana. Book number 16 in Alexander McCall Smith's No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. This one sees Precious Ramotswe taking a holiday from work. Somewhat amusingly, given that fact, I think it ends up spending more time than usual focusing on a detective case. Not that that's saying much, as the plots are never really the point of these. For me, the point is more about getting the chance to hang out for a while in the calm, pleasant, reassuring presence of Mma Ramotswe. Sixteen books in, and somehow that presence, and these books, have never stopped being comforting. I've been having a rather stressful time lately, and reading this has been like having a nice cup of tea, a hug, and a chat with a wise friend who can put all of one's troubles in perspective. Definitely the right choice of book for this particular moment! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Business is slow at the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, so slow in fact that for the first time in her estimable career Precious Ramotswe has reluctantly agreed to take a holiday. The promise of a week of uninterrupted peace is short-lived, however, when she meets a young boy named Samuel, a troublemaker who is himself in some trouble. Once she learns more about Samuel's sad story, Mma Ramotswe feels compelled to step in and help him find his way out of a bad situation. Despite this unexpected diversion, Mma Ramotswe still finds herself concerned about how the agency is faring in her absence. Her worries grow when she hears that Mma Makutsi is handling a new and rather complicated case. A well-respected Botswanan politician is up for a major public honor, and his reputation is now being called into question by his rivals. The man's daughter has contacted the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency to investigate these troubling claims, but, as in so many cases, all is not as it seems. In the end, the investigation will affect everyone at the agency and will also serve as a reminder that ordinary human failings should be treated with a large helping of charity and compassion.--Dust jacket.
