Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A GUARDIAN, SUNDAY TIMES, EVENING STANDARD AND COSMOPOLITAN BOOK OF THE YEAR 'A jaw-dropping story, told deftly . . . a gripping, thought-provoking book' Sunday Times 'A really engaging memoir about identity, race, family, secrets, lies and ultimately betrayal, by a very gifted storyteller' Guardian Georgina Lawton was born to two white parents. Despite her brown skin, her racial identity was never spoken of in her childhood home. The truth only began to emerge when her beloved father died. Fleeing the shattered pieces of her family life, Georgina went in search of answers - a search that took her around the world, to the DNA testing industry and to talk to others whose identities had been questioned or erased. How do you come to terms with a family history tangled in deceit? And how do you define yourself after a childhood that denied a crucial part of your identity? A beautifully-written true account of a young woman seeking her own story amid devastating family secrets. For readers of moving, powerful books about family and identity such as My Name is Why by Lemn Sissay and Educated by Tara Westover. ----------- 'Freshly fascinating . . .
