"Precious Ramotswe learns valuable lessons about first impressions and forgiveness in this latest installment of the beloved and best-selling No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi are approached by their part-time colleague, Mr. Polopetsi, with a troubling story: a woman, accused of being rude to a valued customer, has been wrongly dismissed from her job at an office furniture store. Never one to let an act of injustice go unanswered, Mma Ramotswe begins to investigate, but soon discovers unexpected information that causes her to reluctantly change her views about the case. Other surprises await our intrepid proprietress in the course of her inquiries. Mma Ramotswe is puzzled when she happens to hear of a local nurse named Mingie Ramotswe. She thought she knew everybody by the name of Ramotswe, and that they were all related. Who is this mystery lady? Then, she is alerted by Mma Potokwani that an unpleasant figure from her past has recently been spotted in town. Mma Ramotswe does her best to avoid the man, but it seems that he may have returned to Botswana specifically to seek her out. What could he want from her? With the generosity and good humor that guide all her endeavors, Mma Ramotswe will untangle these questions for herself and for her loved ones, ultimately bringing to light important truths about friendship and family--both the one you're born with and the one you choose"--… (altro)

Another book off my TBR with a rather emotional read of a No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency book where Mma Ramotswe makes an accidental discovery about her family history.

“Not forgiving was like scratching at a sore to keep the healing scab from forming.” I liked this quote but also felt Mma Ramotswe crosses a line trying to force her client(s) into following this philosophy.

The House of Unexpected Sisters is #19 in the series. ( )

A few more twists and turns than usual in this one but still an enjoyable read. ( )

In book number 18 of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, Precious Ramotswe helps out a woman who says she was unfairly fired from her job, and also goes looking for someone with whom she may have a previously unknown family connection.

These are usually just pure, warm, snuggly comfort reading for me, but I felt a bit less of that for much of this one. It might partly be that I wasn't in quite the right mood for it, and might also be that there's a thread of melancholy through much of it, as Mma Ramotswe faces the possibility of learning things about the past that she might rather not know. But the end was just warm and lovely and as uplifting as ever, and left me feeling contented and happy. ( )

If I didn’t know better I might think this was the final installment of the series. The fact is, after 18 books I just assume the series will continue, though I know no such thing. But, this book ended with such a sense of joy and satisfaction, I suppose I would be content if it were the end. As usual, Mma Ramotswe’s level-headed and empathetic approach to life is a simple pleasure, even when it seems she is to face some hard truths of her own in addition to having to unravel the problems of all Botswana. And, is it my imagination or is Mma Makutsi becoming more insufferable all the time? I will confess I had tears in my eyes a couple of times in this story, though of course the series is such that things do come right in the end—and it is not a spoiler to say so. ( )
