Morality for Beautiful Girls by Alexander McCall Smith

(read aloud)

Delightful multi-threaded mystery with charming simple (in the best sense) characters. A praise of traditional African life. Written in a style that brings to mind 'primitive' art. Beneath the simple humble surface stories, there is a deep wisdom informed by generations of stories and proverbs, a profound understanding of hidden human strengths and weaknesses.
