About this listen
Who are you, when you come from two places?
Ennatu Domingo was adopted from Ethiopia at the age of seven and transplanted to Barcelona where she learned to flourish. But she never forgot her nomadic childhood in the mountains and meadows of Gondar, near the northern border with Eritrea. Having witnessed the hardships of Ethiopian rural women at an early age, she was inspired to study the patriarchal structures that underpinned her individual experiences, both in Europe and in contemporary Ethiopia.
She has lived in Kenya, Belgium, and the United Kingdom and has traveled across five continents but keeps returning to the country of her childhood, to reconstruct a lost identity guided by the echo of her first language Amharic and the weight of a rich cultural heritage.
Torn between forgetting and remembering, Ennatu Domingo explores the dilemma of international adoptees and migrant kids and their quest for belonging, in a book destined to be a classic of its genre.
