Moonhawk Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) Hello book lovers, I have a book to find but literally only two pieces of information: 1) A character is named Gentilissa 2) Published before 1997ish. We think it's a novel, and it was probably a paperback? But we don't know for sure. *don't quote this next part* So, my friend is named after a character in this book, her mom was reading it while she was pregnant. But her mom can't remember the name of the book, or anything about the book, just that she loved the name of the character. (I wish I had read this book when I was pregnant, lol, it's a gorgeous name!) So we are trying to figure out what she was named after. Casual Googling has not found it. Help us, Hive, you're our only hope! Edited April 12, 2023 by Moonhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirstenhill Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I found this with a Google Books search... https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Book_of_the_Dead/qgmUDwAAQBAJ?hl=en It's not a novel though, but "interlocking" short stories. But has a character with that name and it was the only English language result for something near the right time frame. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonhawk Posted April 12, 2023 Author Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) Well it's time for me to slink off to Google school because apparently I cannot use it, LOL. And she's tried too over the years, but I guess she gave up a decade ago. eta NEW THEORY after reading the description: her mom totally knows what book she was reading but didn't want to tell her 4yo what she was named after, LOL Edited April 12, 2023 by Moonhawk 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
