Smith, Alexander McCall No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency
United Kingdom, 07 July 200 Abacus July 7, 2005 0-349-11908-2 / 9780349119083 Paperback Very Good
'The author's prose has the merits of simplicity, euphony and precision.' A nthony Daniels, SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'Everything about [McCall Smith] is appeal ing. He's just full of delight - it just bubbles out of him' SUNDAY HERALD 'A rare pleasure' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'A publishing phenomenon' GUARDIAN 'Indee d, the effort involved would have been justified by just one of them, THE N O.1 LADIES' DETECTIVE AGENCY' Gerald Kaufman, Chairman of the 1999 BOOKER P rize Jury 'The beauty of the land, the people, the colours and smells are c onveyed with such warmth that you find yourself laughing and crying instead of, as so often, hardening your heart against the seeming hopelessness of an entire continent. I can think of no author save Dickens who achieved suc h an effect, and no author writing today so deserving of an enormous audien ce.' NEW STATESMAN 'This crime novel is in a category of its own...Precious Ramotswe herself is unforgettable... But if Precious is the heroine of thi s gem of a series, then Botswana is its hero. Rarely in fiction, has a coun try been depicted so lovingly.' GOOD BOOK GUIDE 'Creating a genuinely origi nal character in an already overcrowded field of crime fiction is no mean f eat. But in a genre crowded with wisecracking mavericks, recovering alcohol ics with anger-management problems and kick-boxing female FBI agents, it's fair to say that in Precious Ramotswe, Botswana's finest- and only- woman d etective, McCall Smith has broken the mould.'
