<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Every object has a story to tell.</p><p><br></p><p>Set against the backdrop of the Norfolk coast, The Naming of Bones </em>weaves a patchwork tale of redemption and recovery. Real-life memories intertwine with dreams and folklore in this deeply moving tale of loss and unresolved grief, where tiny moments carry as much weight as the ever-present, ever-changing North Sea.</p><p><br></p><p>As passionate as it is personal, this story unearths relics of the author's life to reveal the transformative power of love, understanding and forgiveness.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>"If you only read one book this year, let it be <em>The Naming of Bones.</em> Jan Kaneen's themes make compelling reading: brutal honesty about anxiety disorder, complex family dynamics and the realisation that an incalculable loss has lain unacknowledged for years. The narrative voice develops as the author picks up a literary pen for the first time, which goes hand-in-hand with ghostly imagery taking on a more concrete form. The author's newfound ability serves to unravel the disquiet in her mind, as she embraces the incantations that have haunted her for years: 'I start with my toes, <em>phalanges, metatarsals</em>. . .'"</p><p>Nod Ghosh, author of <em>The Crazed Wind </em>and <em>Filthy Sucre.</em></p>
