Described by Jemimah Wei as a love letter and time capsule for Singapore, this novel invites its readers to pause to connect back with the communities that surround them and the heritage that roots them. Explore the themes woven into The Original Daughter such as sisterhood, familial love, personal ambition, and the endless competition embedded in Singaporean society. This is a Thrive@Libraries 2026 programme. Thrive@Libraries 2026 Thrive@Libraries aims to re-introduce adults to the rich diversity of NLB resources, programmes, and services while celebrating reading as a way to live well. It features a flagship showcase event at Funan B2 Atrium from 13-15 November 2026, complemented by in-library programmes (https://go.gov.sg/thrive2026prog) running from November 2026 to January 2027. Permission to Pause This year's theme is an invitation to busy working adults to view libraries as a space to pause and discover their interests through NLB's resources. Discover ways you can pause - to read, to play, and to connect. ReadSG This festival is part of ReadSG, NLB's national movement to make reading a lifelong habit and a shared culture that nurtures curious minds, critical thinkers and informed citizens. The ReadSG Challenge is NLB's national reading initiative that invites Singaporeans to rediscover the joy of reading through a simple daily reading habit. All it takes is 15 minutes a day to build a reading habit. That's about the time between three MRT stops, waiting for your bus, or enjoying your morning coffee.
