I couldn’t put it down, and I’m grateful to have Cora and her children living inside my heart now. What a wonderful book!” —Ann Napolitano, New York Times bestselling author of Hello Beautiful\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Magnificent. A stunning, hopeful, bitterly beautiful novel....Read it. It’s very special.”—Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of All the Colors of the Dark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe extraordinary novel that asks: Can a name change the course of a life?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the wake of a catastrophic storm, Cora sets off with her nine-year-old daughter, Maia, to register her son's birth. Her husband, Gordon, a local doctor, respected in the community but a terrifying and controlling presence at home, intends for her to name the infant after him. But when the registrar asks what she'd like to call the child, Cora hesitates...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpanning thirty-five years, what follows are three alternate and alternating versions of Cora's and her young son's lives, shaped by her choice of name. In richly layered prose, The Names explores the painful ripple effects of domestic abuse, the messy ties of family, and the possibilities of autonomy and healing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith exceptional sensitivity and depth, Knapp draws us into the story of one family, told through a prism of what-ifs, causing us to consider the 'one . . . precious life' we are given. The book’s brilliantly imaginative structure, propulsive storytelling, and emotional, gut-wrenching power are certain to make The Names a modern classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"aoun 2","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47383604003037,"sku":"B0DCF91N28","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/8340\/2461\/files\/81ebUyj9u5L.jpg?v=1770804379","url":"https:\/\/sitespark.shop\/products\/the-names-a-read-with-jenna-pick-a-novel","provider":"sitespark shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
