Member recommendations

  1. elbakerone recommends Baking Cakes in Kigali: A Novel by Gaile Parkin, "Although they take place in different African countries (Smith's Botswana and Parkin's Rwanda), both books have a similar flavor with the leading ladies (see more) helping out their neighbors. Throughout their respective stories, each book reveals a bit about the culture and daily life of the country where it takes place."
  2. bookoholic13 recommends Wife of the Gods: A Novel by Kwei Quartey, "It's a little more gruesome than McCall Smith's books, but it's a true pageturner!"
  3. heidialice recommends The Coroner's Lunch
