Blue Shoes and Happiness by Alexander McCall Smith


finished 10.27.11

Each one of these books is like a love letter to Botswana. The author was born in Africa and returned back after law school in Scotland. He co-founded and taught law at the University of Botswana. He also cowrote The Criminal Law of Botswana, the country’s only book on its legal system.

I read this all on wikipedia, but I think this line of his entry is the best: “Former American First Lady Laura Bush is a big fan of Smith’s, as is Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.” Hilarious.

Anyway, this was the 7th book in the series and was par for the course.
