About this listen
The uplifting and thoughtful novel from the uniquely talented author. Everyone has a story to tell…
Journalist Kitty Logan’s career has been destroyed by scandal, and she now faces losing the woman who guided her and taught her everything she knew. At her mentor’s bedside, Kitty asks her – what is the one story she always wanted to write?
The answer lies in a file buried in Constance’s office: a list of one hundred names. There is no synopsis, no explanation, nothing else to explain what the story is or who these people are. The list is simply a mystery.
But before Kitty can talk to her friend, it is too late.
With everything to prove, Kitty is assigned the most important task of her life – to write the story her mentor never had the opportunity to. Kitty has to not only track down and meet the people on the list, but find out what connects them. And, in the process of hearing ordinary people’s stories, she uncovers Constance’s – and starts to understand her own…

Everyone has a story
Out of a tragedy, you always learn something about yourself. This story is one if those, which finds you hoping the main character will see what is right in front of her eyes. A lovely story that is very easy to listen to, not a complex story line, which makes it very easy to dip in and out.

Not the bezt
I have been a huge fan for years but I really struggled to get into this book and then follow it. I loved the lAst quarter which reAlly pulled it together and you could empAthise with the character.

One to keep you guessing
Would you consider the audio edition of One Hundred Names to be better than the print version?
I'm not sure if one would be better than the other, the story would be equally enjoyable either way.
What was one of the most memorable moments of One Hundred Names?
Being able to imagine everybody travelling together on the bus and see them all together socialising was a lovely moment, I almost felt as proud as Kitty. Oh and Archie's unforgettable confession.
Which character – as performed by Amy Creighton – was your favourite?
My favourite character would have to have been Birdie. She may have been old but she wasn't weak or giving up on life!
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Keeping Connected.
Any additional comments?
One Hundred Names is a story of human struggles, picking out our strengths and weaknesses, but filled with hope and laughter. It isn't another typical light read and it's not chick-lit. The story keeps you wondering all the way through, wondering what the conclusion will be. Often ending's are disappointing, but this one made me happy.

Something totally different
I saw this book and having read only one other of Cecilia Aherns book I wasn't too sure.
But I'm so glad I did listen, it's such a heart warming laugh out loud at times tale that I would recommend to anyone
It will not be the only book by the author that o listen to.

Really struck a chord with me
I needed a change in the type of books I'd been listening to. This was refreshing and just what I needed and has an important message. I don't want to say much but it's worth a read or listen.

It wasn't great until...
So usually with Cecelia Ahern books, I am gripped from the very beginning. This one was a little slower and I didn't really fall in love with the characters until towards the end. However, at that point, I was feeling every emotion that the characters were. The ending was a little disappointing, but it did the job! Overall another good read/listen.

Cecelia Ahern always writes beautifully - and this book is no exception.

An fun and easy listen
A good book that makes you think about journalism, friendship and strangers. The book follows Kitty on a journey to find 100 names. I laughed, I was touched and it made me think. Cecelia has a great take on people and you see people you know in her characters as well as wanting find out more about others.
It left me wanting to read/listen to more of her books.
