The other reviewers have already written what needs to be said. I give my +1 to then. Fatimah Bhutto is a star.

Fatima bhutto has put her family' side of story which is high on literary metaphors and imagery but short on generally accepted "facts".The feuds of first family of pakistan have a blood tinge which rouse the curiousity of reader but book lets them down.
