Reviews for Hot Water Man

Wincingly funny...a tragicomedy of manners and errors. An ambitious book showing Asia through British and American eyes - compassionate, but never sloppy, it notes the flaws and frailties of East and West without mockery Daily Mail Entertaining, subtle and intelligent Sunday Telegraph Thank God for Deborah Moggach Independent No neater entertainment has emerged from the debris of our past on the sub-continent Guardian A piece of technical wizardry Daily Telegraph
