Book Launch: Ruttie

Based on the real life of Ruttie Jinnah, this moving novel revisits the luminous yet tragically brief life of a woman often remembered only in the shadow of history. Married to Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Ruttie was more than a historical footnote – she was a spirited, intelligent and emotionally complex individual navigating love, identity, loneliness and social expectations in a rapidly changing subcontinent.

Ruttie brings to life her journey from youthful idealism to emotional isolation, tracing the inner world of a woman who lived intensely and departed too soon at the age of 29. Through evocative storytelling and historical insight, the novel explores the personal cost of public greatness and the quiet sorrows that often remain unrecorded in official histories.
