In The Hour of the Wolf, Fatima Bhutto weaves wolf ethnography with her own suppressed maternal instinct; care for pregnant Coco with coercive attachments; and the power of found families with an exploration of humanity’s connection to nature. The result is a memoir as intellectually compelling as it is intimate and evocative, and that has at its heart the simple truth that love can and should be free of pain. Fatima Bhutto is the author of the novels The Runaways and the Women’s Prize for Fiction- longlisted The Shadow of the Crescent Moon, and the non-fiction New Kings of the World and Songs of Blood and Sword, which deals with her father’s murder and the Bhutto family’s history in Pakistani politics. Bhutto’s journalism and essays have appeared in the New Statesman, New York Times, Guardian, and elsewhere. Fatima will be in conversation with Nikesh Shukla. Tickets cost £7 and include a drink and £2 off the book. Presented by bookhaus.
