I read this book almost
fifteen years after the devastating earthquake, that killed thousands of people
in northern Pakistan. This book by Fatima Bhutto was published in 2006, and the
royalties and profits from this were to be donated to the earthquake victims-
as mentions the cover of the book.
Covering the inspiring stories of the affected people Fatima pays a
tribute to their courage and resilience.
The numerous accounts in the
book by those affected present elements of hope, dreams, memories, motherhood,
misery, pain, love, survival, volunteerism and care. Survivors, volunteers and
youngsters mention their observations in words. Each story in the book offers
an eye opening account and the author believes that the resilience of
Pakistanis is unparalleled. For those interested in understanding the real
destruction of the 2005 earthquake, this is a good read.
