[(Our Lady of Alice Bhatti)] [Author: Mohammed Hanif] published on (October, 2012)

Mohammed Hanif's darkly comic second novel follows Alice Bhatti, a young Christian nurse navigating the chaos of a Karachi public hospital. She's tough, resourceful, and stubbornly hopeful in a world that treats her as expendable. Hanif weaves together biting satire, unexpected tenderness, and the absurdities of institutional corruption with his signature wit. It's a sharp-eyed look at power, faith, and survival in contemporary Pakistan. Perfect for readers who love Aravind Adiga, Mohsin Hamid, or fiction that balances humour with unflinching social observation.
