My Fathers' Daughter (Black Britain: Writing Back 7)
A powerful, intimate memoir of Eritrean-British journalist, Hannah Azieb-Pool, who returns to Eritrea at the age of 30 to meet her family for the first time
'What a story. So vivid, honest and moving' Andrea Levy, author of Small Island
'When I stepped off the plane in Asmara, I had no idea what lay ahead, or how those events would change me . . .'
When she discovers the truth in a letter from her brother - that her birth father is alive and her Eritrean family are desperate to meet her - she is faced with a critical choice.
Should she go?
In this intimate memoir, she takes us with her on an extraordinary journey of self-discovery, as she travels to Eritrea to uncover her own story. With radiant warmth, courage and wisdom, Hannah-Azieb disentangles the charged concepts of identity, family and home. Featuring a new introduction from Bernardine Evaristo and an updated afterword from the author, this is a timeless, essential read.
