Ramotswe is one interesting character. Tough, caring, intelligent and humorous. While this story is not what I expected, I still overall enjoyed it. The cultural change was an interesting viewpoint. And there is a distinct voice to this story.However, it was not what I was expecting. I wanted m...

I'll start off with the narration by [author:Lisette Lecat|291972] was fantastic. I was a little confused at first thinking this book was actually a compilation of short stories but then they were slowly woven together.

Witty and clever but a little too dry for me sometimes. I preferred the TV series but I guess that still says a lot for the original story. I would recommend this to readers who have the patience to wait for the story to set in.

I would give this book 3 1/2 stars. It is well-written, thoughtful, and interesting, and I give it less than 4 stars mostly because it wasn't quite what I expected.
