My Father’s Daughter is a memoir by Hannah Azieb Pool that recounts her adoption from Eritrea, Northeast Africa and her later discovery that her biological father and brother were still alive, overturning the belief that she had no surviving family. Raised in a privileged English household, Pool reflects on her journey of self-discovery as she navigates the emotional and cultural complexities of belonging to both Eritrean and British worlds. The book traces her return to Eritrea to meet her birth family, confronting stark contrasts between her life in England and theirs, while exploring themes of identity, family, home, and heritage. Praised for its honesty and emotional depth, the memoir offers a powerful examination of adoption and reconnection with one’s roots, and forms part of the Black Britain, Writing Back series curated by Bernardine Evaristo.
