There is a saying that when lovers fall out, a plane goes down. A Case of Exploding Mangoes is the story of one such plane. Why did a Hercules C130, the world's sturdiest aircraft, carrying Pakistan's military dictator General Zia ul Haq, go down on 17 August, 1988? Was it because of: mechanical failure; human error; the CIA's impatience; a blind woman's curse; generals not happy with their pension plans; the mango season? Or could it be your narrator, Ali Shigri? Teasing, provocative, and very funny, Mohammed Hanif's debut novel takes one of the subcontinent's enduring mysteries and out of it spins a tale as rich and colourful as a beggar's dream... Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Political Spies & Politics Suspense Thriller & Suspense Casusluk Kurgu İyi Hissettiren Havacılık

Entirely believable tale of Pakistani life under the first post-colonial military rule, written from the perspective of the leader and a lowly member of the military who has reason to bear a grudge. A beautifully written, gently and cleverly funny story.

The narration was pitch perfect for the characters and for the pace and style of the writing.

Splendid

Would you consider the audio edition of A Case of Exploding Mangoes to be better than the print version?

Haven't read the print version but if I did I don't think I'd be able to put it down.

What other book might you compare A Case of Exploding Mangoes to, and why?

Maybe for the humorous content "The Case of the Deadly Butter Chicken" a Vish Puri novel.

What does Paul Bhattacharjee bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

An excellent narrator. His pace and delivery made listening a complete pleasure although it started off a little fast but settled down very quickly.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Most definitely. It's great entertainment.

A brilliant, entertaining read.

Words cannot truly describe how much I love this book. I originally bought it to just listen to when I went to sleep but I found myself completely engaged in the story. I found online pdfs of the physical book so that I could read along with the narration. I really hope Hanif will release more books, because this was easily the best book I’ve read/listened to.

My favourite book of all time
