Publisher's Summary:
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?
As she digs further into her fathers 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, Her Fathers Daughter captures a father-daughter relationship in a moving and astonishingly powerful way.
Critic Reviews:
"A beautiful exploration of father-daughter relationships." (Vogue)
Written in lucid and affecting prose, Her Fathers Daughter is ultimately a filial love song that carries with it the notes of acceptance and understanding. (The Australian Book Review)
"Pung has an extraordinary story to tell and the finesse to bring it, most movingly, to the page. (The Monthly)

Stunning
This book held me spellbound throughout. Alice Pung writes with honesty and power without affectation. I learned a lot about the Pol Pot years and the description of her father's life during this time was haunting - it will stay with me. This book should be compulsory reading in all Australian schools. It would make the average Aussie wiser, more understanding and just kinder. It's not all grim. There were parts that made me laugh out loud - I loved the story of the laminator! I can't wait for the next Alice Pung offering.
Worth Reading
Well written book, good synopsis of the time of the Khmer Rouge and the long term effects on survivors of this period.
A revelation on Cambodian revolution
I found the author writing in third person disconcerting in the flow of the story.
The information on the conditions in Cambodia during the Pol Pot regime vivid, educational and very disturbing. Very well written - I was engrossed.
The story starts of life in the suburbs of Melbourne - a bit dull and I nearly put the book aside a few times - glad I persevered, as the story of her father's life in Cambodia was an eye opener.
