Praise

“In Mma Ramotswe, [McCall Smith] minted one of the most memorable heroines in any modern fiction.”

“Enthralling. . . . Mma Ramotswe is someone readers can’t help but love.”
   —USA Today

   —Booklist (starred review)
 
“An oasis. . . . Full of wit, nuance, and caring.”
   —Chicago Sun-Times

   —Los Angeles Times

“There is no end to the pleasure that may be extracted from these books.”

   —Dallas Morning News
