Product Description
Product Description
A selection of poems by the 15-year-old daughter of Murtaza Bhutto, who was shot during the premiership of her sister, Benazir Bhutto. Although most of the poems were written three years before, they seem almost premonitory, as though Fatima had sensed a tragic transformation in her life.

i was given this book as a present and am normally not the type to seek out works of poetry on my own but fortunately i really enjoyed this book. the poems are honest and refreshing. instead of writing how she feels she's supposed to, bhutto writes from the heart and what she feels. i wasn't going to write a comment but saw the last one on this page, it seemed so out of place and obviously personal or rather politically motivated i had to say something. a really wonderful book. have a read.

what a poignant book.. i was really touched reading it and felt the loss of the poet..
the above review was a bit strange, i wonder if it was politically motivated? the poems and the life of the author seems at odds with her former prime minister aunt. regardless, its a touching piece of work..

The granddaughter of Z.A.Bhutto, and niece of Benazir Bhutto, is no poet. This collection leaves one untouched. The title is quite appropriate, however, for the poems have no whisper of originality, and leave the reader deserted of any emotional response. Perhaps, one might wonder that Ms. Bhutto has been published more for her name, than for what some may mistake for talent. The collection does contain two noteworthy works - the polemic "She Sits", and the purportedly prophetic "Bullets" - but this is due more to their subject matter than their poeticism, and they rise only scarcely above the poor standard of the collection as a whole. I recommend that one looking to read Pakistani poetry should not seize upon this work as an example, for it would be doing a fine literary heritage a great injustice.
