“Teddy has been writing her lovesick notes that she suspects are copied from 100 Best Love Songs of the Past Twenty Years but she thinks that he should get credit for trying. Any man who reaches for a book when he thinks about you is a man you should think about.”

In Karachi, Alice Bhatti works as a nurse in Sacred Heart Hospital. She has a past, cares for patients, marries Teddy Butt, is misunderstood — I kind of wondered where the story was headed, but the Epilogue ties the storylines and themes of love, religion, social status, and gender together well. #Pakistan #ReadingAsia2021
pickIt was hilarious and at the same time so much sad. I like this quality of Muhammad Hanif. Pretty much same humour as in “ A Case of Exploding Mangoes”
Starting a #MahrasQOTD ...question at the end!
Throwback to this book... I loved his first novel but this was a major disappointment...but still it's author signed so...

bailedThe 3+ hours I listened to were full of casual sexual assault, culminating in the title character's sorta-coerced marriage to a dude who was totally creepy to her but who I guess we're supposed to be okay with because he could've raped a prisoner once but he didn't?
Yeah. I'm gonna switch to something else this afternoon.
Day8 of #augustofpages Alice Bhatti really makes me smile! Recently released from borstal, Alice applies for the position of Junior Nurse, Grade 4. And becomes a miracle for the patients littering the hospital's corridors. With a few prison tricks, a sprinkling of her father's powers as a healer and her colourful personality she's a welcome addition to the Pakastani hospital. And then she falls in crazy, dangerous love... #bookphotochallenge
