A wonderful book that I read right through in a day. Three timelines in a "Sliding Doors" scenario, each begun by the choice of what to name a baby boy. Each timeline was sad, but there was joy and redemption there too, and great characterisation, and a real mix of characters. A contender for my best book of the year.
