From “romantasy” and historical fiction to satires and novellas, I read on average around 50 books a year – and there is one recent release that I’ve been recommending to everyone. As crowd-pleasing as it is likely a future classic, Florence Knapp’s debut novel, The Names, is an utterly original take on the “sliding doors” concept.
Released in 2024, the debut held the top spot in my review of the best new books. And now, the paperback is half price on Amazon. The author’s only other book is a non-fiction guide to English paper piecing, but her first foray into fiction is a masterclass. It’s as devastating as it is life-affirming – the recipe for the perfect book.
