THE NAMES: Florence Knapp

THE NAMES

by Florence Knapp

How much does a name shape one’s life? In this skilfully interwoven tale, Knapp shows us how a million little things never change but also that in fact everything can and does. Parts of this book are devastatingly sad, others movingly hopeful. In a different pair of hands, this story might seem contrived. In Knapp’s though, we just kept reaching for the tissues.​
