Reviews"Spare and neatly crafted,The Kalahari Typing School for Mensparkles with African sunshine and Mma Ramotswe's wit." -The Dallas Morning News "The Kalahari Typing School for Men[is] simply charming in the extreme. . . . This series' huge appeal lies in its mannerly folk wisdom and wry, gentle humor, full of wit, nuance and caring. It's an oasis in a genre that too often seems a desert of violence and inhumanity." -Chicago Sun-Times "This loosely woven novel is as beguiling as Alexander McCall Smith's earlier books about the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. His prose is deceptively simple, with a gift for evoking the earth and sky of Africa." -The Seattle Times "Get your hands on one of the mysteries from The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series…. Each book is a thinly disguised love letter…to the people and culture of Southern Africa. A great escape."--Elle, "Spare and neatly crafted, The Kalahari Typing School for Men sparkles with African sunshine and Mma Ramotswe's wit." -- The Dallas Morning News " The Kalahari Typing School for Men [is] simply charming in the extreme. . . .
