À propos de cet audio

 THE YEAR'S BREAKOUT NOVEL AND WORD-OF-MOUTH HIT—A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND READ WITH JENNA PICK

“Dazzling. . . Knapp tirelessly and beautifully replicates not just loss and grief but endless rebirth and delight.” —The Washington Post

“Elegant. . . this is a wholly original work.” —People Magazine

“A magnificent novel.” —Geraldine Brooks, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Horse

The extraordinary novel that asks: Can a name change the course of a life?

In 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...

Spanning 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.

With 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.

Well written and interesting format

Such a clever idea about how 3 scenarios can be so different, dependent on how a baby is named and how that affects the lives of the family.
I loved this book how it is written and how it was read.
It has joined my top audio book collection which includes Eleanor oliphant is alright, All the colours of the dark, A River is waiting, Daisy jones and the six,

Written with such an indepth insight into individual emotions and thoughts

Interesting structure of three stories unfolding, but this book could have used another set of eagle eyes for flawed details. A final edit to filter out implausibilities would have rounded out literary perfection, for me anyway. How can a woman cooped up without contact with the outside world for decades possibly know about pilates? Why would she not have practiced her ballet moves from the distant past to keep in shape instead? Author missed a great chance here to show a delicate connection with her past. Great narration though.

Flaws in details

This book was devastatingly beautiful. I cannot believe how effortlessly the author managed to build so many different people with intertwining lives. My heart aches for Cora, and will continue to do so through 2026.

My Favourite Book of 2025
