Clare Mackintosh - I PROMISE IT WON'T ALWAYS HURT LIKE THIS

Thoughts from a Page Podcast

In this interview, I chat with Clare Mackintosh about I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This, how grief changes your identity, structuring this memoir, how her titles and cover came about, the differences and similarities in writing crime fiction and a memoir, and much more.

Clare's recommended reads are:

1. A Manual for Heartache by Cathy Rentzenbrink
2. The Madness of Grief by Richard Coles
3. The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World by Laura Mai Messina
