Publisher's summary

Behind her smile lies a secret....

The most gripping debut novel of the year.

'I know you would like to hate me. History is written by the victors, and these are always men....'

The wife of a toppled dictator stands trial for her husband's crimes.

The world will finally know the truth. But whose?

Visceral and thought-provoking, powerful and emotional, haunting and heart-breaking, The Dictator's Wife will hold you in its grip until its gut-wrenching conclusion.

Woman....

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?

A gripping and timely story, The Dictator's Wife will keep you listening long into the night....

Interesting premise

- but I wasn’t convinced. Would have preferred to be shown how charismatic and compelling the wife was, rather than being told she was.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
