Reader Reviews:
A fascinating and inspiring woman, but this book is only about a small part of her life (0/0 people found this helpful)
You can't help reading this book and admiring Ms Bhutto, in many ways. Her charm and lovely nature shines through. Her life was incredibly difficult, and yet her positivity and warmth is present at all times. While reading the book, you can't help but feel the loss that her death was to this world.
Unfortunately the book is focused on one part of her life, which is when she was imprisoned, rather than her life as a whole. It also focuses on the politics rather than the woman. I would be interested to hear more about her personal and family life, and her thoughts and feelings about the world in general. Instead it focuses on the suffering she endured in Pakistan in the 70s and 80s. While this is interesting, inspiring and educational (particularly if you're interested in Pakistan's situation as it is now), I wouldn't call it a comprehensive autobiography of Ms Bhutto.
