      Wanneer Zoë Walker, tijdens een treinrit naar haar werk, tot haar verbijstering een foto van zichzelf in de krant ziet in de rubriek met seksadvertenties, is ze vastbesloten uit te zoeken hoe die foto daar terecht is gekomen. Ze heeft geen andere aanwijzingen dan de korrelige foto, een website en een telefoonnummer. Haar familieleden wuiven het weg als iemand die misschien veel op haar lijkt. Maar dan verschijnt er een foto van een andere vrouw, een vrouw die net als Zoë elke dag die trein neemt. Wanneer deze vrouw vervolgens gewurgd wordt gevonden, beseft Zoë dat ze gevaar loopt. Maar van wie komt dat gevaar? Van ‘Mea culpa’(I Let You Go) werden wereldwijd meer dan een miljoen exemplaren verkocht en ook ‘Ik zie jou’ (I See You) was na verschijnen direct een hit.

    • Grief is universal, but it's also as unique to each of us as the person we've lost. It can be overwhelming, exhausting, lonely, unreasonable, there when we least expect it and seemingly never-ending. Wherever you are with your grief and whoever you're grieving for, I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This is here to support you. To tell you, until you believe it, that things will get easier.When bestselling writer Clare Mackintosh lost her five-week-old son, she searched for help in books. All of them wanted to tell her what she should be feeling and when she should be feeling it, but the truth - as she soon found out - is that there are no neat, labelled stages for grief, or crash grief-diets to relieve us of our pain. What we need when we're grieving is time and understanding. I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This is the book she needed then.With 18 short assurances that are full of compassion - drawn from Clare's experiences of losing her son and her father - it's something you can turn to when you can barely concentrate, when you're looking for solace, when you're looking for hope, when you simply need to throw something across the floor, and when you need somebody to assure you, and to keep assuring you: I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This.
