Judy White: The content and structure of ‘If I Knew’ almost had a life of its own. I wrote the last story first and knew it was going to be the last story, but really had no idea what would come before. I just started writing the stories pretty much out of sequence, and I would send them to my agent as they were completed. I was simultaneously working on another novel at the same time. I still didn’t know if it was going to be a novel or a story collection until the manuscript was finished, and then the linked stories made the most sense, particularly within the location they have in common. I liked the idea of stories about these connected lives that didn’t necessarily have neat conclusions and might haunt readers a little after they’ve finished reading. This seems to have been achieved, according to some of the reviews.
