One Hundred Names - Cecelia Ahern
If you were to randomly select one hundred people from a phone directory, you would not only find a story, you would find one hundred stories, because everybody, every single person, has a story to tell. Every single ordinary person has an extraordinary story. We might all think that we are unremarkable, that our lives are boring, just because we aren’t doing ground-breaking things or making headlines or winning awards. But the truth is we all do something that is fascinating, that is brave, that is something we should be proud of. Every day people do things that are not celebrated. That is what we should be writing about. The unsung heroes, the people that don’t believe they are heroes at all because they are just doing what they believe they have to do in their lives.
"What story have you always wished to write?" - This is the opening question for the journey to pursue 100 names of reporter Kitty Logan to write a life article according to the wishes of the deceased colleague.
Starting with just a list of names that did not contain any contact information or instructions, Kitty gradually discovered unusual things hidden under those random, common names, or rather original stories, always available in every simple person around and herself.
This book is a tale of secrets, second chances, and the hidden connections that unite our lives. It is truly the biggest and most compelling one that the internationally bestselling author Cecelia Ahern has delivered in her writing career.
