My Father's Daughter
In 2004, Hannah Pool knew more about next season's lipstick colors than she did
about Africa: a beauty editor for The Guardian newspaper, she juggled lattes and
cocktails, handbags and hangouts through her twenties just like any other
beautiful, independent Londoner. Her white, English adoptive relatives were
beloved to her and were all the family she needed.
Contacted by relatives she didn't know she had, she decided to visit Eritrea,
the war-torn African country of her birth, and answer for herself the daunting
questions every adopted child asks.
What Hannah Pool learned on her journey forms a narrative of insight, wisdom,
wit, and warmth beyond all expectations.
Amharic Kids Review: If you have adopted children, especially from
Ethiopia, you MUST read this book!!
