Fans around the world adore the bestselling No. 1 Ladies' Detective
Agency series and its proprietor, Precious Ramotswe, Botswana's premier
lady detective. In this charming series, Mma Ramotswe--with help from
her loyal associate, Grace Makutsi--navigates her cases and her personal
life with wisdom, good humor, and the occasional cup of tea.
Mma Makutsi, who has recently been promoted to co-director, has been
encouraging Mma Ramotswe to update to more modern office practices. An
unusual case, however, will require both of them to turn their attention
firmly to the past. A young Canadian woman who spent her early childhood
in Botswana requests the agency's help in recalling her life there.
Precious and Grace set out to locate the house that the woman lived in
and the caretaker who looked after her many years ago. But when the
journey takes an unexpected turn, they are forced to consider whether
some things are better left in the past.
Mma Ramotswe dispenses help and sympathy with the graciousness and
warmth for which she is so well known, and everyone involved is led to
surprising insights into the healing power of compassion, forgiveness,
and new beginnings.
