Fatima Bhutto was a teenager when her beloved father was assassinated. Ever since, she longed for a complete and happy family. Years later, still grappling with profound grief, she meets a charismatic man who offers her a new beginning. But the dream soon unravels a toxic relationship that holds her captive for over a decade. By the spring of 2020, Fatima finds herself secluded in the English countryside, accompanied by her most loyal companion: Coco. In THE HOUR OF THE WOLF, Bhutto weaves reflections on love, loss and healing. Heartbreaking yet hopeful, this kaleidoscopic memoir is a testament to resilience, self-acceptance and the restorative power of friendship --- especially that of one small, brave dog.
