I was heartbroken when it was cancelled. The series shows such respect to the people and culture of Botswana. As you said, the books are terrific. Alexander McCall Smith writes so beautifully about Botswana and the characters in the books. I just love to reread the books, too! I look forward to new books in the series to be published. Speaking of which, In The Time Of Five Pumpkins comes out September 30, 2025!
