Reply to Does Alexander McCall Smith depict Botswana and it’s culture accurately? by Capable-Catch4433
I found this quote in an article from a newspaper in Botswana, from an interview with Sheila Tlou, the Health Minister, who played Mma. Ramotswe in a local theater production:
>“I believe in a lot of things that Mma Ramotswe believes in. She embodies all that I believe about Botswana; that it is a great place to live in. She stands for the nurturing of values such as botho, compassion, and caring for other humans.
>
>She captures our appreciative and thankful nature. She is the kind of humble character that even expresses a lot of happiness for having been bought a second hand radio,” she says.

Reply to Did you ever love a book so much you had trouble finishing it because you didn't want it to end? by Kousaroe
Not a book but a series. When Terry Pratchett died, I couldn't bring myself to read his last book. I still haven't read it although I've reread the older ones. I read a lot of cozy mysteries now because my life has gotten busier and they're easier to pick up and put down.
