SATURDAY BIG TENT WEDDING PARTY
The twelfth installment in the beloved, best-selling series is once
again a beautiful blend of wit and wisdom, and a profoundly touching
tale of the human heart.
Precious Ramotswe is haunted by a
dream in which she is driving her dear old white van. Grace Makutsi
dreams that her 97 percent on the Botswana Secretarial College exam was
a mistake. When Mma Ramotswe discovers that her van is actually still
in use (and, of course, sets out to retrieve it), Mma Makutsi wonders
whether her dream will turn out to be prophetic as well.
They can
only wait and see, but, in the meantime, one of Phuti Radiphuti’s
apprentices has gotten a girl pregnant and, under pressure to marry her,
has run away. Naturally, it is up to Precious and Grace to help the
couple work things out. In other developments, Mma Ramotswe investigates
a case of rural jealousy in which cattle are being poisoned. Add to the
mix Violet Sephotho’s newly begun, already unstoppable run for the
Botswana Parliament and the possibility that wedding bells may finally
ring for Phuti Radiphuti and Grace Makutsi—whose love for each other is
as great as their love for Botswana—and we have a charming and
delightful tale in the inimitable style of Alexander McCall Smith.
