The Hour of the Wolf
From acclaimed journalist and novelist Fatima Bhutto, a searing, intimate memoir of grief, heartbreak, and what we owe the natural world - all learned from the dog who saved her life.
Only a teenager when her beloved father was murdered, shot outside their home by his political opponents, as an adult, Fatima Bhutto longed for a happy family life. And so when one day she meets an intoxicatingly charismatic man who promises just that, she falls for him - and falls hard.
This is the story of how Fatima freed herself from the tight, dangerous coils of the man's manipulative charm. It's a tale that crosses continents, travels into myth, literature, astronomy and art, and explores Fatima's own yearning for motherhood. By her side for the entire journey is Coco: a small, ferociously loyal Jack Russell terrier.
Heartbreaking yet hopeful, this kaleidoscopic memoir is a testament to resilience, self-acceptance, the restorative power of friendship, and humanity's connection to nature.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
