    If I Could Say Goodbye: an unforgettable story of love and the power of family

    Emma Cooper

    Formats & Editions

    A heart-warming and uplifting story about love, loss and finding the strength to say goodbye, from the author of The First Time I Saw You.

    Perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes and Cecelia Ahern, If I Could Say Goodbye is sure to 'break your heart but put it back together again' (Katie Fforde)

    Jennifer Jones' life began when her little sister, Kerry, was born. So when her sister dies in a tragic accident, nothing seems to make sense any more.

    Despite the support of her husband, Ed, and their wonderful children, Jen can't comprehend why she is still here, while bright, spirited Kerry is not.

    When Jen starts to lose herself in her memories of her sister, she doesn't realise that the closer she feels to Kerry, the further she gets from her family.

    Jen was never able to say goodbye to her sister. But what if she could?

    Would you risk everything if you had the chance to say goodbye?

    Emma Cooper

    Emma Cooper is the author of highly acclaimed book club fiction novels and is known for mixing humour with darker emotional themes.

    Her debut, The Songs of Us, was snapped up in multiple pre-empts and auctions and was short-listed for the RNA contemporary novel of the year award. Her work has since been translated into seven different languages.

    Emma has always wanted to be a writer - ever since childhood, she's been inventing characters (her favourite being her imaginary friend 'Boot') and is thrilled that she now gets to use this imagination to bring to life all of her creations.

    She is now also an editor for Jericho Writers, where she has worked with traditionally published authors, as well as new aspiring writers.

    Emma spends her spare time writing novels, drinking wine and watching box-sets with her partner of twenty-eight years, who still makes her smile every day.
