Join us for an enchanting evening with the remarkable Clare Mackintosh on 11th March at 7pm, at Linghams bookshop in Heswall, Wirral. This in-person event welcomes bestselling author Clare Mackintosh as she returns to the shop in March to discuss her new book 'I Promise it Won't Always Hurt Like This: 18 Assurances on Grief'. Prepare for an unforgettable experience at Linghams Booksellers, where doors will open at 6:15 and the cafe will be available for refreshments prior to the event. Clare Mackintosh shares, "I have always written about grief through the filter of fiction, with a layer of protection between my own experiences and the reader. It has been challenging, and at times uncomfortable, to explore my personal journey through grief, but I feel strongly that recovery begins with a conversation. The collective outpouring of grief caused by the pandemic, and by current global events, will endure for generations – we have never needed to talk about loss more than we do now."
