About this listen

My Father Had No Children is a memoir exploring the author's personal journey of discovering her father's identity and ultimately understanding her own sense of self. The book delves into the author's quest to uncover the truth about her father's background. It is an emotional journey questioning her own identity while attempting to reconcile the conflicting information she receives while visiting a government office, that her father had no children. Despite her efforts, she is met with bureaucratic rules and regulations, preventing her from learning the truth about her father.

The author expresses her deep sense of loss and confusion, grappling with the idea she may not be her father's biological child. She questions her mother's role in the situation and contemplates the significance of her grandmother, Peach, who played a part in her early life.

The memoir is a personal story but also touches on broader themes of identity, family, and the impact of war on the lives of children left behind. It explores a child's quest for connection and understanding when there is loss of a parent at an early age.
