Here are my thoughts on "The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon".
Each time I read a book in this series, I smile with
pleasure and a feeling of peace when reading the last page. Mma Ramotswe and
her world in a small town in her beloved Botswana will lift your spirits
even as she solves a crime or two. Mma always happily thinks of herself as a "woman of traditional build", and has never once thought of the word "diet", bless her heart. In this installment Mma Ramotswe and her
assistant, Mma Makutsi (a quirky and prickly and loyal lady) are separated when
Mma Makutsi has a baby. Oh, they miss each other so much! In Botswana the
old ways means less is said, rather than more, even between friends. Their
painful separation causes the two friends to say more, and one of them gives
the other a generous gift from her heart. The first in the series is “The No. 1
Ladies’ Detective Agency”, and each one I read leaves me feeling more happy. I
hope they have the same effect on you. Read one and I think your dreams will be
sweet.
