The Woman Who Walked in Sunshine No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Series edition by Alexander McCall Smith Literature Fiction eBooks

Several years ago the BBC and HBO co-produced a short-lived television series based on the #1 Ladies Detective Agency series. If your impression of those books and the characters featured in them was colored by watching TV, please forget everything you saw and read the books themselves. There are few examples anywhere in adult literature that can match the charm and insight that Alexander McCall Smith brings to these lovely little books.

The Woman Who Walked in Sunshine is the sixteenth novel in the series, and it’s by no means the best. But it’s as good a place as any to gain entry to the unforgettable world of Mma Precious Ramotswe, the endlessly wise proprietor of the agency; Mma Grace Makutsi, her exasperating sidekick; Mr. J. L. B. Matekoni, “the best mechanic in all Botswana” and owner of the Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors repair shop; and the priceless recurring secondary characters in the ensemble.
Crime takes a holiday

Almost invariably, detective fiction is about crime and the brave and clever investigators who bring malefactors to justice, often risking their lives in the process. But don’t expect any of that from the #1 Ladies Detective Agency. The Woman Who Walked in Sunshine and its predecessors in the series are all about Botswana, its culture, its history, and its commanding natural setting. More often than not, the “crime” that the agency is hired to solve turns out to be a false rumor, a family squabble, or one of the frequent shenanigans of Violet Sephotho, the scheming young woman who is the sworn enemy of Mma Makutsi and the bane of the agency.
The home of the famous lady detectives

Just in case you can’t place Botswana on the globe, look for the huge chunk of territory just north of the nation of South Africa midway between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Once upon a time it was a British protectorate called Bechuanaland. The country gained its independence in 1966. Unlike so many of its neighbors, Botswana has been remarkably peaceful and a paragon of democracy — singular accomplishments that are celebrated in the #1 Ladies Detective series.

The Woman Who Walked in Sunshine No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Series edition by Alexander McCall Smith Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

Once again, I feel as I have entered Zebra Drive and the tiny white van as a welcome guest. If you are new to this series, you can start here and I believe you will want to read all of the #1 Ladies Detective Agency books. If you are a constant reader, it's as if you never left, just turned the page for a new adventure.
With a combination of intuition, referral to Clovis Andersen and reliance on the sage advice of those who are 'late" Mma Ramotswe is at it again. While taking her first holiday, she finds that there is not much for her to do. (Can a trip to America be far away?)There is no heavy lifting required in reading this book, but jus sit back, read and enjoy. You will be magically transported to Botswana where life seems to be a bit easier and kinder.
My life is made better by Alexander McCall Smith. Although I love all his books, this series is my favorite. When I read these books I am transported to the kinder, gentler, more polite world of Precious Ramotswe. Sure there is terrible poverty, hunger and disease in Africa (as well as the rest of the world) and perhaps Mr. McCall Smith puts rose colored glasses on this world, but he alludes to the issues and is sensitive to them. However, the point of this series is not to bring awareness to Africa's issues. To me, it is a love letter to a place he knows and loves and in my humble opinion we are all better for reading it. I will anxiously await each installment of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series and devour them practically the moment they come out and I hope it never ends!
This is another if Smith's wonderful and touching series about the #1 Ladies Detective Agency and its owner, Precious Ramotswe. There is a sly humor here and I am always impressed with the patient and giving nature of Mma Ramotswe and her compatriots. If this is truly how Botswana feels, it is a place I would love to visit. The characters are not like any I have ever met but Precious gives everyone the benefit of her wisdom and charity. She is insightful and seems naive without seeming stupid and although each of these stories stands alone very well, it is wonderful to start at the beginning and meet each of the main characters in the first books and get to know them all better and better as the series progresses. These are quick reads, but I always try to make them last as long as I can because I love them so. You'll end up smiling at the end of each and every book and this is no exception.
