<p><b>Can a name shape the course of a life?</b><br/><br/>In the wake of the 1987 storm, Cora sets off with her 9-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 follow his family tradition going back generations, and name the child Gordon. But on the journey there, Cora wonders if it's right to impose the burden of this name and its legacy onto her newborn son. She herself has Julian in mind, and Maia offers up her own suggestion: Bear.<br/><br/>What follows are three alternate and alternating versions of her son's life shaped by Cora's last-minute choice of name. Spanning thirty-five years, the novel takes in themes of domestic abuse, the messy ties of family, and the possibilities of autonomy and healing.<br/><br/>In prose as precise and intimate as it is thrilling, Knapp draws us in from the very first page, ushering in the tenderness of close family connections, as we follow three unforgettable journeys, each heart-pounding in its own way. With echoes of <i>Life After Life</i> by Kate Atkinson and deep characterisation reminiscent of Ann Patchett and Maggie O'Farrell, Knapp's debut will make you gasp as you root for Cora, Maia and Bear/Julian/Gordon, weighing up which has been the better life, not just for the central character but also for his mother, grandmother, and sister.</p>

<p><b><i>She can see the future, but can she change it?</i></b><br/><br/>Paris, 1793. In the notorious Conciergerie Prison, Marie Antoinette is having her cards read. What solace can the tarot give her now, in the midst of the Reign of Terror, when outside her cell the mob is baying for her blood?<br/><br/>Kate, a young Irishwoman whose fortunes have seen her travel from maid to closest confidant of Mademoiselle Lenormand, the infamous Tarot Reader of Versailles, sees the Queen of France's cards and knows what's in store for her. As the French Revolution is consumed by frenzied violence, Kate must use all her wiles to ensure that Marie Antoinette's fate doesn't become her own nor that of her mentor. But what turn of the Wheel of Fortune led a revolutionary Irishwoman to become entangled in French royalist plots? And what forces - supernatural or otherwise - can help her protect an innocent child from a cruel and unjust fate?<br/><br/>Set against the background of the French Revolution and the Great Rebellion in Ireland, this is a novel of fate and free will, where allegiances and romances can be forged or broken by the turn of a card.<br/><br/><i>Inspired by the true story of Marie-Anne Adelaide Lenormand, the most infamous Tarot Reader in France.</i></p>
