Her husband, Gordon, respected in the community but a controlling presence at home, intends for her to follow a long-standing family tradition and name the baby after him. But when faced with the decision, Cora hesitates...\n\nSpanning thirty-five years, what follows are three alternate and alternating versions of their lives, shaped by Cora’s last-minute 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.\n\nThrough a prism of what-ifs, Florence Knapp invites us to consider the \"one . . . precious life\" we are given. Full of hope, 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 love’s endless capacity to endure, no matter what fate has in store.\n\nThe book’s brilliantly imaginative structure, propulsive storytelling, and emotional power are certain to make The Names a modern classic.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0593833902\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0593833902.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Knapp, Florence\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
