Precious & Grace by Alexander McCall Smith

You really have to be a people person to understand and enjoy this latest novel about the “The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency.”
How Alexander McCall Smith, an English Medical Professor, manages to capture the essence of Bostwana is amazing, but you just grow to love Mma Ramotswe and her offsider Mma Makutsi. Then there are the fabulously named Fanwell, Phuti RaRadiphuti, J.L.B. Matekoni, Violet Sephotho and Mma Potokawni. There are plenty of cups of tea looking into a gentle, kindly lifestyle, where the main cases are lost dogs,a lost woman looking for her past, the “Fat Cattle Club” pyramid selling scheme and the niceties of Botswana middle class life.
“Precious and Grace” take you on a collective visit into their lives and how a white male medico manages to write this wonderful stuff is a story into itself.
