Hot Water Man - Thryft
Hot Water Man - Thryft

Tragicomic unraveling of expatriates' facade in Karachi.

Imagine feeling the simmering heat of Karachi as you're pulled into the lives of ex-pats trying to navigate a world away from home. "Hot Water Man" uses wit and an eye for the absurd to peel back layers of social pretenses, revealing raw humanity and unexpected kinships. It's a dance of cultures and characters that any reader looking for both humor and depth would relish.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
