Full of heartbreak and hope, Florence Knapp's The Names was deemed "the best debut novel in years" by The Sunday Times and praised by Jojo Moyes, Chris Whitaker and Geraldine Brooks. The novel begins in 1987 in the aftermath of a great storm, when a woman sets out to register her son's birth. It imagines three different life paths prompted by three different names, and reflects on the decisions - big and small - that shape a life's course.
