Matekoni, is overburdened with work even before one of his apprentices runs off with a wealthy woman. But what finally rattles Mma Ramotswe's normally unshakable composure is a visitor who forces her to confront a secret from her past. . . .All this unfolds against the sunlit background of Mma Ramotswe's beloved homeland, Botswana a land of empty spaces, echoing skies, and an endless supply of soothing bush tea.
