The Dictator's Wife by Freya Berry
SIGNEDhardbackWOMAN I learned early in life how to survive. A skill that became vital in my position.
WIFE I was given no power, yet I was expected to hold my own with the most powerful man in the country.
MOTHER OF THE NATION My people were my children. I stood between him and them. I am not the person they say I am. I am not my husband. I am innocent. Do you believe me?
Visceral and thought provoking, haunting and heart-breaking, The Dictator's Wife will hold you in its grip until its powerful conclusion, and keep you turning the pages long into the night.
The beautiful, enigmatic wife of a feared dictator stands trial for her late husband's crimes against the people. The world will finally know the truth. But whose?
'A fascinating exploration of absolute power, female agency and the complexities of complicity. Atmospheric, claustrophobic and so elegantly written' ELLERY LLOYD
