This is a story of Precious Ramotswe and the beginnings of her detective agency in Botswana. It is a quick read. The images of life in Botswana, the culutural influence was very interesting to consider. There are one or two amusing antedotes as well. However I was disappointed in the book overall. I have heard great things about it from many people and have read the hype on book review sites. I did not think that this book was particularly deep or had any thought provoking qualities. I expected much more than I got out of it, although I would possibly recommend to anyone who would like to read a literary work portraying views of Botswana or for a light read.
