...tanned arms and adorable round ears. Her new extended family, moreover, loves her. They welcome and dazzle her with praise, and appear in many ways to be typical of large, conservative, close-knit, multigenerational families. They eat dinner and watch TV together. The men are breadwinners (Kazuhito and his father Takeo manage a rice mill); the able women (Noriko and Kazuhito's mother and sister and grandmother) cook and clean while babysitting Kazuhito's mentally handicapped younger brother and nursing both his bed-bound grandfather and his great-grandmother Ei, the clan's 97-year-old matriarch.

She glosses over the time she spent serving the party of General Zia ul Haq, the military leader who overthrew Bhutto's father in 1977, then hanged him two years later. Her time serving under Bhutto's arch-nemesis Sharif is also barely mentioned, nor is her failed 2002 campaign in which she ran on President Pervez Musharraf's party ticket. All her party peregrinations were forgiven in 2003, she says, when Benazir Bhutto called...
