‘Fascinating… evokes the atmosphere of sarah waters’ books with a nod to Philip Pullman. A book you’ll want to lose yourself to for hours on end’ Emment Farmer is a binder’s apprentice. His job is to hand-craft beautiful books and, within each, to capture something unique and extraordinary : a memory. If you have something you want to forget, or a secret to hide, he can bind it – and you will never have to remember the pain it caused. ‘A rich gothic entertainment that explores what books have trapped in them and reminds us of the power of storytelling’ Tracy Chevalier
