I'm still finishing up my re-read of this book, but I'm finding that it is still "slow to start". But it grows on you if you let it, and by the time you're well into the book, Mme Ramotswe and the other characters in the book take on a real life of their own. And one that I care about. This, I think, is the genius of the book. Certainly NOT it's plot, or perhaps total lack of one. It's in the scenery building and character building that this book charms. And it does still charm me, though it is less conducive to re-reading than some of my other favourites.
I'll have more comments later, when I get back from a 3 day trip I need to take and can settle down.
