The Timeless Impact of Fatherly Wisdom in Literature

Certain books carry the weight of fatherly wisdom, giving us insight into not just the minds of fathers but the legacies they hope to leave. Here are five books that capture the essence of a father’s lessons through letters, storytelling, and reflection:

1. Letters from a Father to His Daughter – Jawaharlal Nehru
2. Between the World and Me – Ta-Nehisi Coates
3. Things My Son Needs to Know About the World – Fredrik Backman
4. Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

And I believe The Wind Never Forgets – my own book is an attempt to continue the tradition of fathers imparting wisdom through letters.
