Reviews
"The Miss Marple of Botswana." -- The New York Times Book Review "Smart and sassy...Precious' progress is charted in passages that have the power to amuse or shock or touch the heart, sometimes all at once." -- Los Angeles Times "The author's prose has the merits of simplicity, euphony and precision. His descriptions leave one as if standing in the Botswana landscape. This is art that conceals art. I haven't read anything with such alloyed pleasure for a long time." -- The Sunday Telegraph, "The Miss Marple of Botswana."
