UN BESTSELLER INSTANTÁNEO DEL NEW YORK TIMES Y SELECCIÓN DEL CLUB DE LECTURA READ WITH JENNA UN FENÓMENO RECOMENDADO DE BOCA EN BOCA QUE NO PODRÁS DEJAR DE COMPARTIR.

¿Puede un nombre cambiar el destino de una vida?

Bear. Julian. Gordon.

Tres versiones de una vida

Aclamada como «la mejor ópera prima que se ha publicado en años» por The Sunday Times y traducida a más de veinticinco idiomas, Los nombres es una novela sorprendente que atrapa desde la primera página. Con una historia tan original como emotiva, Florence Knapp nos invita a seguir tres vidas posibles que nacen de una sola decisión: cómo llamar a un hijo. Un viaje inolvidable sobre identidad, destino y el poder invisible de las pequeñas elecciones que marcan toda una vida.

Estamos en 1987. Tras una gran tempestad, Cora sale con su niña de nueve años para registrar el nacimiento de su hijo. Su marido insiste en mantener la tradición familiar y que el bebé lleve su nombre. Pero Cora duda. Ir en contra de su voluntad podría ser peligroso, y sin embargo, ¿debe el pequeño heredar el nombre de generaciones de hombres dominantes? La elección que haga en ese momento marcará el rumbo de sus vidas. Siete años después, el niño es Bear, un nombre escogido por su hermana y tan inesperado como la tormenta de la que surgió. O es Julian, el nombre que su madre le dio, convencida de que le permitiría forjar su propio camino. O es Gordon, como su padre, criado a su imagen y semejanza... aunque quizá todavía haya una posibilidad de romper ese molde.

Ésta es la historia de tres nombres, tres versiones de una vida, y las infinitas posibilidades que una sola decisión puede desencadenar. Es la historia de una familia, y de cómo el amor resiste y perdura entre sus miembros, sin importar lo que el destino les depare.

Winner The Book of the Year at the British Book Awards on Debut Fiction

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"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, New York Times bestselling author of Hello Beautiful

"Magnificent. A stunning, hopeful, bitterly beautiful novel....Read it. It's very special."--Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of All the Colors of the Dark

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.

Fun puzzles, cliffhanger ending
Format: Kindle
If you’ve read the earlier books about the Hawthornes, you know that Avery Grambs, the heiress to the Hawthorne fortune, established an annual game of puzzles and riddle in which the winner would win a whole lot of money. This book is about one of those games. I finished this book late last night, and the first thing you need to know is that it ends in the middle of the game! Barnes calls this a new series, and obviously, it’s the kind of series in which books are tightly linked. The next book comes out next July. So forewarned. I found I had to concentrate at the book’s start because there’s a lot to sort out. There are 8 players, mostly new characters Hawthornes there, mostly in background with Grayson having a bigger role. There are also three points of view. So it took me quite a while to be sure I knew who was who and what their backstory was. I’m not actually sure I understand all of them even now, partly because Barnes withholds some information for the next book Still, page by page, I enjoyed this book. I liked solving the puzzles and was pleased with myself when I did it faster than the characters did though that wasn’t as often as I’d like. The books takes place over 2 days, I think, but there’s some insta-attraction I guess, which is interesting. The ending was unsatisfactory for me, and Barnes obviously intended it to be that way. I’ll undoubtedly pick up the second book next year, but I’ll have to reread this one to have any hope of following it.

Jenn has never disappointed me onceee!!!!!
Format: Hardcover
The grandest game is an absolute masterpiece!! The story is gripping from scratch to finish, with expertly crafted twists and turns that keep you on edge of your seat. Jenn has a way of weaving together intricate plots and dynamic characters that feel incredibly real. The pacing is perfect, and every detail feels intentional and significant. I adore the characters' relationships and motives unfolded, creating a rich, layered narrative. The grandest game is the kind of book that lingers with you long after you have turned the last page. I highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in thriller like me and you won't regret it!!
