Things I want my daughters to know.


ISBN: 978-0-141-03698-4
Publisher: Penguin Books
Author: Elizabeth Noble

This is a very good novel. I have to admit that I am not so good at picking a good novel, but I love to recommend this one. The novel wasn't one of my favourites genres. I'm more into heavy reading such as literations or histories, not fictional books.

But this one is different, it caught my eyes, first because of the cover are so beautiful and second is the title of cause.

The story started with Barbara, a final stage cancer sufferer. She is married to a nice man and a mother of four well-grown women. Her life seem perfect to outsiders.  realising her time is coming to end make her sadder because she believes there’s a lot of things need to be settled with her four daughters.

The eldest Lisa; who is anti-commitment, Jennifer; suffered of unhappy marriage, Amanda; a traveller and the teenage Hannah. She ends up writing each of them a letter. To share with them her hope, dream and something that she cannot voice out before or have no courage to tell them in person.

Everyone has a secret, some should be buried with them, some need to be told.

This novel will makes you laugh and cry.
