Although she is
not aware of it, apparently Mma Ramotswe is in dire need of
a vacation. At least, this is what her friend and partner
Mma Makutsi insists so she ends up taking one. Trouble is,
not only does Mma Ramotswe discover she is at rather a loose
end, but she also ends up being embroiled in their latest
case. And what is Violet Sephotho up to now?
I know I am always saying this, but this wonderful
series of life affirming books ought to be available on prescription.
With her wise and compassionate outlook on life, Mma Ramotswe
truly is the woman who walked in sunshine. Here she deals
with the tragic case of a young boy thought of as rubbish,
digs into the background of an important public figure, tackles
Violet’s latest venture and keeps her agency on track.
This is the sixteenth entry in a series that shows no sign
of running out of steam, where life is made up of small things,
like the pleasure in drinking tea, and there is always time
for friendship and appreciating what really matters. Too often
Africa is shown in a very negative way by the media, so it
is wonderful to read of its more positive, upbeat side where
the simple things in life still have great value. A hugely
enjoyable treat.
