How does a daughter tell the story of her father? 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.
