Critics Review
An escape from life’s woes as well as a suggestion for how to make the whole deal more palatable - fragility, fruit cake, and all * Boston Globe *One of the most reliably entertaining cosy series running, soothingly returning readers to the tiny Botswana office of Mma Precious Ramotswe… a comic novel, enlivened by Precious’ reflections, Grace’s jockeying for status and part-time mechanic and apprentice detective Charlie’s struggles to overcome his unreliability. A total delight * Booklist, Starred Review *The most fabulous celebration of kindness and wisdom awaits… At once gentle and affectionate while also beautifully witty and thought-provoking * LoveReading *One of the secrets of McCall Smith’s success with this series is the consistency with which he dispenses his quiet charm, and From a Far and Lovely Country is no exception… hilarious and heartwarming * Scottish Field *Smith consistently finds ways to move the books forward and keep them fresh… A reminder to appreciate the people and places we love * Star Tribune *
