The Hour of the Wolf

A compelling, intimate memoir of grief, heartbreak and what we owe the natural world – all learned from the dog who saved her life. Only a teenager when her beloved father was murdered by his political opponents, as an adult Fatima Bhutto longed to build a happy family life. When she met a charismatic, alluring man, she thought she had found something special. This is the story of how Fatima freed herself from the tight coils of the man's manipulative charm and his dangerous, intoxicating hold over her. It's a tale that crosses continents, and travels into myth, literature, astronomy and art. By Fatima's side for the entire journey is Coco: a small, ferociously loyal Jack Russell terrier. In The Hour of the Wolf, Fatima Bhutto weaves wolf ethnography with her own suppressed maternal instinct; and an exploration of coercive attachments with one of humanity's connection to nature. The result is a memoir as intellectually compelling as it is intimate and evocative.
