Summary Fitzpatrick reveals a complex portrait of an Australian family. As her relationship with her father, author, journalist and historian Brian Fitzpatrick 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
