Fiorella likes reading the Precious Ramotswe books by Alexander McCall Smith. Yes, the stories about the founder of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency in Botswana are charming, but what really makes the books is the way the author writes--in long, almost poetic sentences. For example:
"She woke up at more or less the same time Each morning, thought for a while about getting up, and then rose, leaving Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni still deeply asleep on his side of the bed, dreaming about the sort of things that mechanics, and men in general, dream about." (From THE HANDSOME MAN'S DE LUXE CAFE)
Try it. You'll like it.
