A heartfelt and intimate memoir, Remembering Bob chronicles the life and legacy of one of Australia's most beloved and iconic figures, Bob Hawke, as seen through the eyes of his daughter, Sue Pieters-Hawke. The narrative presents a deeply personal portrait that moves between the public and private man — the celebrated trade union leader and Prime Minister who transformed a nation, and the father, husband, and flawed human being known only to those closest to him. Written with warmth, candour, and unmistakable love, it illustrates the complex emotional terrain of a daughter reconciling her admiration for a towering public figure with the more complicated truths of family life. Pieters-Hawke writes with honesty and grace, ensuring that the man remembered here is fully human — brilliant and charismatic, yet imperfect and deeply real. Remembering Bob stands as both a tribute to an extraordinary Australian life and a moving meditation on grief, legacy, and the enduring bonds between parent and child.
