Eagerly awaited next instalment of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency we are once again transported to Gaborone,capital of Botswana,to enter the world of Precious Ramotsweand her friends.In 'Blue Shoes and Happiness',Mma Ramotswe has many new challenges to face: a cobra trapped in her small office at Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors,a difficult case of blackmail to solve and - to the astonishment and amusement of her friends - a diet to keep to.And she is bemused by the less traditional behaviour of her assistant,Grace Makutsi.The graduate of the Botswana Secretarial College is the epitome of the modern woman withfeminist views and a taste for fashionable footwear.But will her fiance,Phuti Radiphuti,appreciate Mma Makutsi's progressive ways? Undaunted,Mma Ramotswe deals with these concerns with her usual resourcefulness and unerring intuition.And all the while, she can take comfort from the small things in life; the simple and frequent pleasures of tea-drinking; the heartbreaking beauty of the African landscape; and from a deep pride in a country where the small kindnesses and civilities still count for so much.

[EAN: 9781904598633], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [SC: 6.99], [PU: Polygon], "In this latest installment in the beloved series, there is considerable excitement at The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. A cobra has been found in Precious Ramotswe's office. Then a nurse from a local medical clinic reveals that faulty blood-pressure readings are being recorded there. And Botswana has a new advice columnist, Aunty Emang, whose advice is rather curt for Mma Ramotswe's taste." "All this means a lot of work for our heroine and her inestimable assistant, Grace Makutsi, and they are, of course, up to the challenge. But there's trouble brewing in Mma Makutsi's own life. When Phuti Radiphuti misses their customary dinner date, she begins to wonder if he is having second thoughts about their engagement. And while Mma Makutsi may be able to buy that fashionably narrow (and uncomfortable) pair of blue shoes, it may not buy her the happiness that Mma Ramotswe promises her she'll find in the simpler things - in contentment with the world and enough tea to smooth over the occasional bumps in the road."--BOOK JACKET.EAN: 9781904598633 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Título: Blue Shoes And Happiness : No. 7Autor: McCall Smith, Alexander Editorial: Polygon An Imprint of Birlinn Limited Idioma: EN Páginas: 224 Peso: 410, Books<
