Author’s note
Clare Mackintosh
All my books feature very ordinary women who are faced with extraordinary situations. At the start of I LET YOU GO, Jenna is disempowered and vulnerable. She considers herself as weak, unable to save herself. The situation is very different at the end of the book. There’s a rather frivolous saying I like (particularly apposite for this tea-loving British writer) which says: a woman is like a tea bag. You only see how strong she is, when you put her in hot water. Putting women in hot water is pretty much the essence of my books, and my latest ‘hot water’ can be found on a plane. HOSTAGE is a locked room thriller, set on the first ever non-stop flight from London to Sydney. It features Mina, a mum and flight attendant faced with a terrible choice. Save the plane, or save her child? What would you do? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56628286-hostage
