The Name Game - by Beth O'Leary (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A man and a woman with the same name are looking for a fresh start only to discover they have landed the same job in this charming new romance by bestselling author Beth O'Leary.

Charlie couldn't be happier to take the job of farm-shop manager on the remote, wild Isle of Ormer. She's grieving, a little lost, and in desperate need of a fresh start.

Jones has come out of a difficult breakup and is looking forward to some peace away from the noise of his city life. Moving to Ormer couldn't have come at a better time.

But when Charlie Jones and, ahem, Charlie Jones both turn up at Ormer's one and only farm shop, claiming to have been offered the role of manager, everyone is baffled. How could this have happened? And just who is the real Charlie Jones?
