[@nataliefrances6319]

To read the books and then have this gentle series, come to life, with the beautiful Jill Scott, leading the cast, is such a treasure.

[@cruisepaige]

“Gentle” is the word. I have been struggling emotionally a lot this week and wanted to escape into something sweet. This is perfect.

Let not your heart be troubled. Follow Agnes Vivarelli and Ella Ringrose Guided meditation. You will find the right video, for you. Follow the exercises. You will begin to regain your emotional strength, coming back stronger. We don't know each other, but know that you have a friend from afar rooting for your healing heart. We have to support each other in this life, God knows it's tough enough, right now, as it is. 💖

[@leomartin1603]

What a very interesting program.

[@cathye.2855]

The books were refreshing and entertaining and the series does it all justice. The acting, the music, the dialog all bring out the gentle but strong spirits in the characters. The plots of each case hold true to the author's imagination. Well done! (My favorite is Grace Makutsi. She is amazing!)

[@gcmoss]

I have read all these books and watched each of the series episodes repeatedly. They are profoundly and stunningly produced. 💕☀

[@patriciaducentsolly]

How wonderous. Including the natural beauty of the land and people. An honest and open respect of native cultures at its best.. Such joy to watch. Thanku for sharing ❤

[@amarketing8749]

This is a lovely series. It is nice seeing another culture, from the simple differences in a cemetery to the difference a job title can make to someone's self-esteem. I like the hope and positivity that is shown, while not hiding or glossing over problems like sexual harassment and AIDS.

[@fionaross3495]

Botswana has the lowest HIV infections in Africa. The don't have a large population. The Botswana government got on top of it very effectively.

[@susanknight4841]

It's always hard when you love a book, to embrace a televised version - because the satisfaction of reading the writer's uniquely crafted prose is lost, and there's so much which has to be cut and shut. But this series beautifully captures the spirit of the books - retaining the atmosphere, warmth, honesty and charm of the originals.

[@mahawakomala85]

What's the name of the book, please?? .. I'd like to read it..

Thanks... that's as good a recommendation for the books as I could ever expect to read... I'll see if they have them at my local library... and if they haven't, or can't order them in, I'll look for them online! :)

[@Thepourdeuxchanson]

For me, Anika Noni Rose steals the show. The abrupt, sensitive, and proud manner is a result of her self-made rise out of great poverty which is described in the books. A lovely character.

[@rogersledz6793]

Such outstanding empathy and openness of heart, we can all learn from this series.

How did I never know about this series? The drama and acting is so good. Different from our usual fare. Thanks!

I have just begun to watch this series. I have always loved sister Scott for her talents. I have discovered another reason. Although I realize that this is a character that she portrays, I believe that she put her real heart into it. I also enjoy seeing true African people displaying their talents. Thanks

[@mayanganggarani]

I am a new fan. I'm hooked by the smart and witty lines, that even someone who didn't read the book or understand about Botswana culture could relate to the stories. Just like most BBC movie series, i adore this one now. Thank you for uploading. I want to go to Botswana now.

[@tullochgorum6323]

McCall Smith was a friend of my father's and I was brought up on the books. I somehow missed this episode - Jill Scott is quite magnificent here. This is work that transcends mere TV - it's a work of art, On the topic of mourning, McCall Smith looks remarkably like my late dad. They would joke that they could be mistaken for brothers. I still feel a pang whenever I see his photo on his books.
