The Names by Florence Knapp: Virtual Bookclub
Tomorrow - if morning comes, if the storm stops raging - Cora will register the name of her son. Or perhaps, and this is her real concern, she'll formalise who he will become.
You've been seeing this book cover everywhere and if you've been curious about what's inside, this is the perfect opportunity to grab a copy and dive in.
This is a virtual book club and we want to hear from you! Please be ready to switch your camera on and share your thoughts with the group.
It is 1987, and in the aftermath of a great storm, Cora sets out with her nine-year-old daughter to register the birth of her son. Her husband intends her to follow a long-standing family tradition and call the boy after him. But faced with the decision, Cora hesitates, questioning whether it is right for her child to share his name with generations of domineering men. Her choice in this moment will shape the course of their lives.
This is the story of three names, three versions of a life and the infinite possibilities that a single decision can spark. It is the story of one family and how love endures, no matter what fate has in store.
This event will happen via Zoom and you will be emailed the link a few days ahead of the event.
