- By the author of A Case of Exploding Mangoes. Alice is a Catholic just
released from prison in Karachi. She finds a job as a nurse at a squalid government hospital, and falls in love with "part-time goon" Teddy. A darkly humorous portrait of contemporary Pakistan-Business Standard - Mohammed Han if is arguably the best Pakistani writer of his generation. In English, that is. The debut novel of this former BBC Urdu Service chief, A Case of Exploding Mangoes, built tales around the mysteries surrounding the death of one of Pakistan's most powerful dictators, Zia ul Haq. That single book catapulted Hanif to fame. He now returns with Our Lady of Alice Bhatti. For those who have enjoyed his first book, this one is going to be a feast, thanks to what one could call the "different voice" that Hanif possesses. Here is a bite for the soul: "/Mice's body is one of those miracles of malnourishment, which has resulted in a thin, brittle bone structure with overgrown breasts. Dulhousie (a businessman) knows that she comes from the kind of household where starvation is passed off' as fasting, where during every week of the month dinner is bread soaked in water, where milk is taken without sugar and tea without milk.... In these households, even empty stomachs gurgle Yassoo be praised."-Ullekh NP, Economic Times
