another show stopper (0/0 people found this helpful)
After Indian Summer I never thought any other book could possibly earn 5 stars again! but here we are another fabulous, heartwarming and moving adventure. I am so glad this has been made available in large print - my Dad (and many others) can now enjoy this book as much as I have. Fingers crossed Indain Summer will be made available in large print too.
A delightful book (0/0 people found this helpful)
Having read and thoroughly enjoyed Will's previous adventures in India I was hoping that this book was going to be as good. I was not disappointed as it is a delightful series of tales about his adventures in what seems an idyllic part of Africa (despite the horrors of AIDS). Having read all of AMS's books about Precious Ramotswe I have become a Botswanaphile and this book reinforces my belief in the country and what it has achieved since independence. Will has a lovely turn of phrase and the children he teaches appears bright, eager to learn and still innocent to the wonders around them. Would that we still had these characteristics in our own school children. Get it and read it - you will feel better after doing so.
What a Great Read (1/1 people found this helpful)
I met Will Randall just as this book was being realeased: he knew the headmaster of the school i worked at, and came and gave a talk to kids during the day, and a more "adult" version to parents in the evening. His easy charm and great character were impossible to dislike. I immediately purcahsed a copy of this book(with autograph). After reading it, i felt so uplifted by his style of writing i at once bought the rest of his books. All are brilliant...his easy style of writing makes his work accesibly to everyone. The man is a genius.
Delightful (0/0 people found this helpful)
I found this book enjoyable, uplifting, with its references to the problems of Botswana surrounded by Randall's characteristic optimism and writing talent.
A superb book to read casually in one's spare time.
