Rebecca Ley

This was such a heartbreaking book to read, I felt so much compassion throughout it, breast cancer is close to my heart and being a mother myself my ultimate worry is if something happened to me, the kids would grow up without a mother. This is exactly what Sylvia is going through, although with her it’s not a case of what if, it’s a case of when.
Knowing she hasn’t got much time left, she writes a manual for her husband to help him do the mundane daily chores, routines for the children etc.
This was a sad book and I cried often, once I had finished I was left with a book hangover and a sadness in my heart. I explained the book to my husband and started crying again. I am now an emotional wreck, but it was such a good true-to-life book which will make you think and maybe assess your own life if the inevitable did come along.
A brilliant debut and I look forward to reading more from Rebecca Ley… (plus d'informations)
