How to Raise an Elephant by Smith

How to Raise an Elephant by Alexander McCall Smith

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I'm addicted. I've now read all 21 of the series No. 1 ladies Detective Agency. The tone throughout is consistent and the characters grow from one book to the next. There is a relaxing, entrancing atmosphere throughout. This is a world where empathy reigns, a world of traditional values (and traditional weight). These are ordinary people coping with the problems of everyday life, in the heart of Africa. As usual, there are a few investigations to be sorted out an dealt with creatively, punctuated with delightful digressions about Botswana and about human nature.
