Spencer: Book Club: “Tears of the Giraffe” by Alexander McCall Smith

Join likeminded literature lovers each month for our As the Page Turns book club. In October, the group will discuss “Tears of the Giraffe” by Alexander McCall Smith.

Precious Ramotswe is the eminently sensible and cunning proprietor of the only ladies’ detective agency in Botswana. In Tears of the Giraffe she tracks a wayward wife, uncovers an unscrupulous maid, and searches for an American man who disappeared into the plains many years ago. In the midst of resolving uncertainties, pondering her impending marriage to a good, kind man, Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni, and the promotion of her talented secretary (a graduate of the Botswana Secretarial College, with a mark of 97 per cent), she also finds her family suddenly and unexpectedly increased by two.

Everyone is welcome to join the discussion! For more information, call 715-659-3996.
