“The Miss Marple of Botswana.” —The New York Times Book Review
“Smart and sassy...Precious’ progress is charted in passages that
have the power to amuse or shock or touch the heart, sometimes all
at once.” —Los Angeles Times
“The author’s prose has the merits of simplicity, euphony and
precision. His descriptions leave one as if standing in the
Botswana landscape. This is art that conceals art. I haven’t read
anything with such alloyed pleasure for a long time.” —The Sunday
Telegraph
