Five top books about false identities

Arwen Elys Dayton's new novel is Seeker.

For Tor.com she tagged five top books about false identities, including:
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

It might be a stretch to include this book on this particular list, but I was especially affected by the time the hero, Kvothe, spent alone in the woods and then his years as a street urchin. With the traumatic death of his parents, Kvothe loses his place in the world, and with it his identity. He essentially becomes someone else for a very long time, until he recovers enough of who he is to move forward with his life.
Read about the other books on the list.

My Book, The Movie: The Name of the Wind.
