BUT PRIME MINISTER…

“Javed Jabbar narrates the real-life fascinating story of his association with one of the most enigmatic Pakistani politicians of recent years; in a memoir that is part confessional, part creative non-fiction which is as engrossing as lived history can be. Jabbar’s straight talking presence is very much present in his writing as is his obvious admiration, compassion and respect for Pakistan’s first woman Prime Minister whom he served with distinction in his ministerial and political capacity. In a series of fragmental collages ranging from the intimacy of private meetings with a vulnerable yet strong woman to her courage in the face of massive opposition to her governance and gender; an unafraid Jabbar coaxes a brushfire of responses to his memoir from his readers with a slice of private Pakistani history that is eminently readable”.
