About this Event
Join us for an evening of conversation with Florence Knapp to celebrate the paperback release of her bestselling debut The Names.
Deftly structured and asking penetrating questions about how our identities are formed, Knapp's debut novel follows three alternative paths that a child's future could take depending on which name they were given.
The Names is a beautiful, heartwrenching, utterly original novel - this one will stay with me for years to come - Miranda Cowley Heller, author of THE PAPER PALACE
A sucker punch of a novel that I think will be one of the biggest books of the year - Pandora Sykes
The Names is a truly gorgeous, heart-opening novel. 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, multi-million-copy bestselling author of HELLO BEAUTIFUL
I'm in AWE. Powerful, moving and beautiful, The Names takes an important subject and handles it perfectly - Marian Keyes, author of GROWN UPS
Haunting and heartfelt; I couldn't look away from this emotionally charged story of fate, family and heart-shattering what ifs - Claire Daverley, bestselling author of TALKING AT NIGHT
Magnificent. A stunning, hopeful, bitterly beautiful novel. The Names is a story of decisions, both grand and miniature, of how each is sewn into the tapestry of what makes us uniquely us. And how a single change can be our making and unravelling. Read it. It's very special - Chris Whitaker, bestselling author of ALL THE COLOURS OF THE DARK
