Description

THE ONE WHERE MMA POTOKWANI SAVES THE DAY

A Song of Comfortable Chairs follows Grace Makutsi's husband, Phuti, who finds himself in a bind. An international firm is attempting to undercut his prices in the office furniture market, and their slick new advertising campaign seems hard to beat. With Mma Ramotswe's help, however, Phuti devises a campaign that may just do the trick.

Meanwhile, Mma Makutsi is approached by an old friend who has a troubled son. Grace and Phuti agree to lend a hand, but the boy proves difficult to reach, presenting a situation more challenging than they can handle alone. This requires not only all of their patience and dedication but also the assistance of Mma Ramotswe and the formidable Mma Potokwani.
