The Hour of the Wolf

Only a teenager when her beloved father was murdered, shot outside their home by his political opponents, as an adult, Fatima Bhutto longed for a happy family life. And so when one day she meets an intoxicatingly charismatic man who promises just that, she falls for him - and falls hard. This is the story of how Fatima freed herself from the tight, dangerous coils of the man's manipulative charm. It's a tale that crosses continents, travels into myth, literature, astronomy and art, and explores Fatima's own yearning for motherhood. By her side for the entire journey is Coco: a small, ferociously loyal Jack Russell terrier. Heartbreaking yet hopeful, this kaleidoscopic memoir is a testament to resilience, self-acceptance, the restorative power of friendship, and humanity's connection to nature.
