Fatima Bhutto's novel

Anyone read that?

The Shadow of the Crescent Moon by Fatima Bhutto

Re: Fatima Bhutto's novel

How is she as a writer?

Re: Fatima Bhutto's novel

Never read any of her works completely. All her previous works including articles revolves around her family history and she seems to justify her father (naturally). Her first books were poetry but I was surprised to know that her latest book is a novel.

Re: Fatima Bhutto’s novel

Interestingly the novel is about impact of Drone attacks on Pakistani society.

Re: Fatima Bhutto's novel

I read her book, songs of blood and sword, she got me hooked.

No :snooty:

Have you? :hmmm:

Re: Fatima Bhutto’s novel

No. Post no. 4 padhen. I would only read her book if given for free or uploaded on net, becuase Bhuttos have already taken lot of us.. No more money for them :nook:

Re: Fatima Bhutto's novel

I finally found out a pdf copy of 'Songs of blood and Swords', I'm not sure whether or not I would be able to finish it out like 100s of unread Pdf books :)

Re: Fatima Bhutto's novel

I am old school in this, I can't read in kindle or any such thing, I still need a paper book, Hardbound or Paperback, anything is okay :)

Re: Fatima Bhutto’s novel

There is an International Book Fair in Karachi from 5th to 9th December. Last Year this ‘Songs of Blood and Sword’ was being sold by Liberty Books for Rs 500 (special/ discounted price on cheap paper). You feel sad after spending your money on some books, especially when you later know that it was available online for free :bummer:

Re: Fatima Bhutto’s novel

I never visited Pragati maidan fair, generally in first week of January. I buy it online, even if it is available for free, I do not get connected to pdf and electronic writing. Especially the books which I read more that twice in a year, like Sir Naipaul’s non fiction, I always need printed one :slight_smile:

Bethey rahen phir :snooty:

Re: Fatima Bhutto’s novel

Is se acha buy kar ke Khud na read kar loo :stuck_out_tongue:
