Acerca de esta escucha
'At once so personal, yet utterly universal. A visceral, thoughtful and emotionally compelling story.' Melissa Leong
In a beautifully crafted memoir of captivating emotional honesty, the SBS Insight host sets out to understand the dad she never really knew, and–along the way–herself.
Growing up, Kumi Taguchi thought her father was merely distant: reserved, obsessively frugal and–after her parents’ divorce–almost entirely missing. When he died, Kumi’s feelings about him and the Japanese heritage he had given her remained tangled.
But just because a parent has gone doesn’t mean they’re absent. Over time Kumi came to understand more about what made her father as he was, including his experiences as a child in wartime Japan and, above all, the culture she both loved and felt burdened by. She decided to travel to Japan to find the family home, and perhaps lay to rest some ghosts.
In this highly evocative journey of understanding, Kumi explores her divided self: the tension between duty and freedom; the people she’s felt drawn to and lost; and how to find your place when caught between two worlds.

‘An aching, longing book of hard-won truths. If you’ve ever felt homesick no matter where you are, or floored by grief and familial duty, let Kumi Taguchi and her story be your companion.’ (Ben Law)
‘Like the Japanese art of Kintsugi, Kumi weaves gold through the pieces of her life–and her father's–binding every part with empathy, compassion and understanding that will speak to anyone who has struggled to understand their parent, themselves and the world they live in.’ (Amy Remeikis)
