Work InformationThe Miracle at Speedy Motors by Alexander McCall Smith ![]() Books Read in 2016 (1,203) » 6 more No current Talk conversations about this book. ![]() Another sweet story where things turn out for the best or, at least, as well as one can reasonably hope for. One theme deals with how do you react to personal hate mail. Do you respond with sympathy and an apology for whatever unknown action upset the writer or do you retaliate or ignore it? Do you do it publicly or quietly? And does it depend on how much the perpetrator is involved in your life? Another is being honest when it involves admitting you are wrong----turns out this makes everything better! Mma Ramotswe still has her white van. My favorite quote from the book: "... on one occasion [Mma Makutsi] had tut-tutted when a client had been telling Mma Ramotswe about something he had done. . . . Mma Ramotswe had been obliged to reassure him . . . . 'It is not for us, Rra,' she had said, all the while looking at Mma Makutsi, 'to make you feel guilty. It is not for us.' Mma Makutsi had nodded. 'God will do that,' she interjected. 'He is the one who will judge you.'" [p. 19] no reviews | add a review
