Have you read any of these books in the No. 1 Ladie’s Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith? There are several in the series, each one as fun to read as the one before. Set in Botswana and starring the unlikely heroine Precious Ramotswe- the books are charming and simple and a pleasure to read. Whenever I need to rest my mind and want a fun book to read, I pick up one of these quirky and endearing novels. So needless to say I was delighted to see that HBO is starting a series based on the books, starting March 29th at 8pm. I hope the books’ innocence is adequately captured in the TV series, but regardless of the medium this is a great group of characters to get caught up with, especially these days. Their simple ways and appreciation for the beauty and spirit of Africa will inspire us all.
