Description
SECOND HAND BOOK
Sheila Fitzpatrick was taught from an early age to question authority. She learnt it from her father, the journalist and radical historian Brian Fitzpatrick. But very soon, she began to turn her questioning gaze on him.
Teasing apart the many layers of memory, Fitzpatrick reveals a complex portrait of an Australian family against a Cold War backdrop. As her relationship with her father fades from girlhood adoration to adolescent scepticism, she flees Melbourne for Oxford to start a new life. But it’s not so easy to escape being her father’s daughter.
My Father’s Daughter is a vivid evocation of an Australian childhood; a personal memoir told with the piercing insight of a historian.
