About The Author

Sheela Banerjee is a writer and academic. She grew up mainly in Hayes, west London, and in India. She was a programme-maker for the BBC and Channel 4 for many years before leaving TV to do a PhD on ghosts in modernist literature. What's in a Name? is her first book.

This is a brilliantly enlightening book that uses the keyhole of people's names to let us see into the lives and histories of people in multicultural Britain. It ranges across continents and epochs, at times moving, at others ironic, full of insights and detail.

Other text

A sharp and timely examination of Britain's history, through the prism of something intimate and everyday – everyone's name tells a story, no matter how ordinary
