A memoir by the distinguished writer and journalist Victoria Schofield of her thirty-three-year friendship with her Oxford contemporary Benazir Bhutto. Born to a wealthy and influential Pakistani family that has dominated the centre-left Pakistan People's Party since its founding in 1967, Benazir Bhutto would twice serve as prime minister of her country (thereby becoming the first woman to head a democratic government in a predominantly Muslim nation) and was assassinated in December 2007 — almost certainly by her Islamist enemies — while attempting a second political comeback.
