Blue Shoes and Happiness

Blue Shoes and Happiness by Alexander McCall Smith is the seventh book in the internationally bestselling No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series — and as warm, wise, and thoroughly pleasurable as its predecessors. Published by Abacus, this instalment continues the gentle, morally rich, and deeply human story of Precious Ramotswe with the consistency of quality that has defined the series from the beginning.

In this seventh book, Mma Ramotswe is dealing with cases touching on some of the most sensitive aspects of traditional and modern Botswana: a healer who may be exploiting the vulnerable, a newspaper columnist dispensing dubious advice, and matters in her own household requiring all her wisdom. Meanwhile, Mma Makutsi is dealing with the discovery of a perfect pair of blue shoes.

As always, McCall Smith's great achievement is making the ordinary feel extraordinary — finding in the everyday choices of his characters a moral seriousness and human richness that elevates the series into something genuinely illuminating. A thoroughly enjoyable addition to one of the most beloved series in contemporary fiction.
