<p>At twenty-something, Alice is eager for the milestones of adulthood: leaving home, choosing a career, finding friendship and love on her own terms. But with each step she takes she feels the sharp tug of invisible threads: the love and worry of her parents, who want more than anything to keep her from harm. Her father fears for her safety to an extraordinary degree – but why?</p><p>As she digs further into her father's story, Alice embarks on a journey of painful discovery: of memories lost and found, of her own fears for the future, of history and how it echoes down the years. Set in Melbourne, China and Cambodia, <em>Her Father's Daughter </em>captures a father–daughter relationship in a moving and astonishingly powerful way.</p><p>Winner of theNon-Fiction Prize: 2011 Western Australian Book Awards</p><p>Shortlisted for the 2012 Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards, the 2012 NSW Premier's Literary Awards, the 2012 Queensland Literary Awards</p>
