Book Review: Find Some Hope by Nida Fatima

Find Some Hope by Nida Fatima is short autobiographical book, kind of memoir of a young woman who traces back her life from school time to finding a caring husband and beyond. Every one’s life goes through ups and downs, well some give up, but a few determined souls fight and bounce back like a phoenix. Her story of grit and mettle inspire us and show as how one can rise up from the crutches of depression to fulfilling a meaningful existence.


Right at the beginning, the author being honest about her medical condition, she draws up curtains from Bipolar disorder. The book guides readers what the Bipolar disorder is and what are its symptoms and how does it affect all spheres of life. The author carves out specific taboos and issues that run amok in our societies like ignorance of the girl child, dowry and marriage pragmatism, and most importantly a woman has to go through suffering and pain in a patriarchal dominant society. The author was good at sports, has had her own issues with mental health, but the world mocked at her…she puts each episode with raw honesty and instructs readers to turn supportive for women around their lives. From one juncture to another, she sketches out her life from being a troubled teenager to matured grown-up wife and responsible citizen.

The book brims with mini stories from her life; one can take them up for their source of inspiration and motivating others. She narrates a lot from a woman’s point of view. For many, reading this book will be like taking a mini break from reality and diving into the depths of emotions. Nida’s enchanting journey filled with waves of raw and relatable sentiments as the author goes through life and experiences different emotions from grief and loss to hope and faith, depicted with words that will tug at your heartstrings.
