Synopsis

'Honest and beautifully written' Woman & Home

The heartwarming classic about love and family from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Love, Iris will make you both laugh and cry.
_________ How would you say goodbye to those you love most in the world?

it's time for Barbara to say a final farewell to her four daughters. But how can she find the words? And how can she leave them when they each have so much growing up to do?

There's commitment-phobic Lisa. Brittle, unhappily married Jennifer. Free-spirited traveller Amanda. And teenage Hannah, stumbling her way towards adulthood.

Barbara's answer is to write each daughter a letter, finally expressing the hopes, fears, dreams and secrets she couldn't always say.

These words will touch the girls in different - sometimes shocking - ways, unlocking emotions and passions to set them on their own journey of discovery through life.
