More than half a million copies sold Because tomorrow – if tomorrow comes, if the storm dies down – Cora will go to the registry office and give her son's name. Or rather – and this troubles her most of all – she will officially decide his future. 1987. Soon after a devastating storm subsides, Cora sets out with her nine-year-old daughter to register the birth of her son. Her husband expects the boy to be given his name, in keeping with family tradition. But faced with the decision, Cora hesitates and wonders whether she wants her child to share a name with generations of domineering men. She knows that what she calls the boy will determine the fate of her whole family. Seven years later, her son is called Bear, a name chosen by his older sister – a name as revolutionary as the storm from which it emerged. Or Julian – the name his mother preferred, in the hope that it would let him find his own path. Or Gordon – named after his cruel father and shaped in his image. Or perhaps there is still a chance for the boy to break the cycle of violence? This is the story of three names, three versions of one life and the endless possibilities that a single decision can open up. It is the story of one family and a love that endures, whatever fate may bring. +++ One decision, three names and three completely different lives. This is a moving tale of hope for a better tomorrow and of the shadow of merciless violence, which can pursue a person whichever path they choose. The butterfly effect and alternative versions of events intertwine here into a poignant family drama that you read with bated breath. With remarkable tenderness, Florence Knapp proves that words have enormous power, and the ending of this story will leave you with a bleeding heart. A dazzling, mature debut that you cannot pass by indifferently. Łukasz Chmara, @talkincloud The hardest thing is to face growing up in fear. Florence Knapp reminds us that children inherit not only names, but also silence, fear and wounds. This is a haunting story about whether it is possible to break the cycle of violence and write your own story. Ałbena Grabowska, writer In this boldly conceived debut, Florence Knapp asks questions as old as the world in a fresh way. Who are we? Is our fate sealed in advance? In her interwoven scenarios, the author paints a shockingly convincing picture of domestic violence, yet as a gesture of defiance she sets against it a whole spectrum of constructive human relationships that shape our lives and have the power to change them for the better. A gripping and touching read! Elżbieta Janota and Paulina Rzymanek, literary podcast Już tłumaczę What if we were the ones who could glimpse three paths of our own life? One decision can change everything. Unfortunately, in Cora's case each of them is marked by suffering. We watch these scenarios unfold and desperately wish for one of them to prove more real than the other two. I will spare you one decision, though – this story is worth getting to know.
