Charlotte Levin commented: “Maxine Peake is the most incredible actress and I’ve been a huge fan for years. Having her narrate IF I LET YOU GO feels like a dream come true and I am beyond excited to hear her bring the story and characters alive”
IF I LET YOU GO tells the story of Janet Brown. Every morning Janet goes to work cleaning offices. The cleanliness and neatness calm her. All the things she’s unable to do with her soul can be achieved with a damp cloth and a splash of bleach. However, the guilt she still carries about a devastating loss that happened eleven years ago never goes away. Then Janet finds herself involved in a train crash and, recognising the chance to do what she couldn’t all those years ago, she makes a decision…
Ruth Jones said about IF I LET YOU GO: “Simultaneously tragic and uplifting. And I have to say at times so funny. Charlotte Levin is SUCH a clever writer... A magnificent read”
