I’d love to introduce you to gracious, wise, and wonderful Mma Ramotswe! How to Raise an Elephant is the most recent (#21) installment (not reviewed). There are 21 installments in the series! Are you looking for a gentle, cozy read? “Tea, thought Mma Ramotswe–no matter what was happening, no matter how difficult things became, there was always the tea break–that still moment, that unchangeable ritual, that survived everything, made normal the abnormal, renewed one’s ability to cope with whatever the world laid before one. Alexander McCall Smith, born in Zimbabwe, does really well in what he sets out to do in these stories. Readers also hear the author’s voice as he provides gentle commentary on universal issues. Important common themes appear throughout all the stories in the series, and they include compassion, kindness, graciousness, reflection, good manners, forgiveness, and inclusiveness. The focus of her work at the Ladies’ Detective Agency is on righting small injustices. She is a proponent of the old Botswana morality and the traditional ways (especially the old way of greeting others). Idealistically, she believes that people are good and kind and want to enjoy themselves and take care of each other. In fact, she always chooses kindness and forgiveness as her response and never revenge.

In 2020, I decided to systematically revisit my older review posts and update them. Genre/Categories: Contemporary Fiction, Botswana, Gentle Mysteries, Amateur Sleuths, “UpLit” 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency Series by Alexander McCall Smith It's off-putting when you find out the book was written by a white Scottish man, and most of the cast are English or American, but it's still nice to see a vision of Africa that makes you think 'wow' - but in a good way.No. I don't think it sugar coats - it touches on issues of corruption, poverty, AIDS (a main character's brother is suffering from the disease) and superstition, yet Botswana is presented as a country the characters love and are proud of, and it shines a good light on the culture and the people. I love that it's a positive, everyday sort of depiction of Africa, which you very rarely see. What makes it different though, lighter and more appealing to watch at this time of year, is the humour, the sprawling African scenery, the music, bright clothing and colourful characters. It's like your typical Sunday night, family mystery TV, and is a similar pace to English detective dramas like Endeavour or Miss Marple. Like the novel, the Pilot is a bit slow to take off and continues on at quite a slow pace, but as you get into the rhythm of it it feels right.
