pickI love Kingsolver. She‘s a master with words. The story is so incredibly hard to read as so many of her books are, but it‘s only because of the rawness of her writing.

Not my favorite of the series but I always enjoy my time in Botswana with Precious and her community. 3.5 🌟

pickA belated review:
Change is afoot in Botswana. The Agency is losing money and so it must pick up and move. But what to do about the assistant detective? It seems Mma Makutsi has hidden talents besides being the assistant and top graduate of secretarial school! I love the development of this character. Meanwhile the orphanage has taken in a wild boy who seems to have been raised by animals. How can anyone communicate with him? The solution is ⬇️
so-soI‘m only giving this a so-so because some of her viewpoints were simply outdated. I did appreciate when she would call herself out for her negative attitude. She could have edited the book in her favor, but didn‘t. I loved learning about the cultural aspects of people living in West Africa. It is also so wonderful to see how connected and similar humans are and yet how we differ also, and not in a this-is-superior/inferior way, just different. ☺️
This time a Somali chicken stew that was fabuloso! Husband asked for it to be put in regular rotation. #Mtcookbook
