He was born in what is now known as Zimbabwe and he was a law professor at the University of Botswana. It was already eight-thirty, a recklessly late hour for her, but then she remembered that the children were at their friends’ houses and did not have to be got ready for school. During her employment, Grace has gradually promoted herself to detective and is now referring to herself as a managing director of the firm. However, her son is disrupting her newfound happiness with constant angry outbursts and meanness directed towards her new partner. Parking the van in its accustomed place under an acacia tree, Mma Ramotswe walked past the entrance to the garage.
