Songs of Blood and Sword: A Daughter's Memoir by Fatima Bhutto

4.0

This is the first non-fiction book I've read this year and I'm pretty sure one of the only one's I've ever read that I can say I liked. I've always had an infatuation with the Bhutto family and this is a perfect dive into their family feuds, drama, etc. It is worth noting though, that the author is part of the family which is a pro and a con at the same time. The pro being that we got a real and raw look into the family and the con being that everything was in the author's eyes. As she writes, it's almost as if her father could do no wrong and it seemed sugar-coated at times. Other than that it was a gripping recount of this deep, influential, political family.
