What this book is about
A stranger delivers a pumpkin to the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency with no explanation. Mma Ramotswe's husband, Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni, is still recovering from his depression. A young woman needs help. And someone from Mma Ramotswe's past arrives unexpectedly. Alexander McCall Smith's sixth No. 1 Ladies' novel weaves its multiple gentle threads with the series' characteristic grace — each plot strand receives the same careful attention as every other, and the accumulated picture is of a community in which everyone is interconnected.
