Unless I missed it I don't think I have seen Alexander McCall Smith mentioned - He has written a couple of series of books, the more famous of which are "The No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" set in Botswana. This has also been made into a TV series, which is what I would describe as a BBC 1 Sunday evening drama. They are very gentle and a great favourite of my mother's who doesn't like unnecessary anything in her books, whether it be violence, sex or swearing. There is also a series called Cordurouy Mansions, as well as one called 44 Scotland Street.
How literary do you like your reading material? From my reading experience, quite often, authors who have more literary writing style have less need of descriptive passages of sex, violence and swearing to tell a story.
Good luck with finding reading material to suit.
