The paperback version of Never Say Goodbye is selling well -many thanks to all my loyal readers, who have helped to keep me on the bestseller list!

Linda Kavanagh is a former journalist who has worked for various Irish newspapers and magazines, and was a staff writer on the RTE Guide for fifteen years. She lives with her partner and dog in Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin. Her previous four novels, Love Hurts, Love Child, Hush Hush and Time After Time were also published by Poolbeg.

Never Say Goodbye Reviews:

“Former journalist Linda Kavanagh’s experience as a writer and observer comes through in this, her fifth novel, exploring the self-perpetuating nature of bullying and the lasting effect it can have on young lives. Alternating between past and present, Never Say Goodbye draws the reader into a web of deceit and suspense. It keeps the pages turning right up to the denouement, which comes as an unexpected and horrific climax. If you are a fan of Jodi Picoult, this one’s for you.“
Irish Independent.

This tale is certainly not for the fainthearted, as apart from the main theme of bullying, Kavanagh writes about other very serious issues. Both the past and present stories are powerful and at times will leave you frustrated by the hopeless situations the women find themselves in. Kavanagh clearly demonstrates how people can appear a certain way on the surface, but that their actions or personalities may have only come about by events that happened behind closed doors – but for others, they were just born that way. Dark, gritty and addictive, this is definitely worth a read.“
