About this Event
Join us for an evening of conversation with Fatima Bhutto to celebrate the release of her new book, The Hour of the Wolf.
From acclaimed journalist and novelist Fatima Bhutto, a searing, 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, 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.
