«A Name for Himself» is the contemporary fiction novel by Catherine Dunne, published by Jonathan Cape Ltd in paperback (288 pages, in English).
The novel follows Farrell, who feels an immediate antipathy towards P. J. Browne, and that rejection grows when he falls in love with his daughter Grace, a vulnerable and sophisticated woman who seems unattainable. His love becomes a refuge, but both carry ghosts from the past that resist disappearing, and Farrell's childhood and his need to belong put the relationship to the test.
It is Catherine Dunne's second novel, originally published in 1998 by Jonathan Cape Ltd. The work falls within contemporary literary fiction.
For readers of contemporary and literary fiction looking for character-driven novels about relationships, identity, and the wounds of the past.
