LOSE YOURSELF IN THE BREAKOUT SENSATION OF THE YEAR

SHORTLISTED FOR WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019

‘Spellbinding’ Guardian

‘Magic’ Erin Kelly

‘Immersive’ Sunday Times

‘Astounding’ Anna Mazzola

Emmett 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.

In a vault under his mentor’s workshop, row upon row of books – and secrets – are meticulously stored and recorded.

Then one day Emmett makes an astonishing discovery: one of the volumes has his name on it.

I fell a little bit in love with this book. It is beautifully written, the plot is entrancing and the narration simply marvelous. To say that the characters were brought to life just doesn't do it justice. I wish I could have my memory of the book bound just so i could experience it again for the first time.

Mesmerising, intriguing and utterly beautiful

At first I kept falling asleep due to the narrator's low quiet monotone but I persevered and was rewarded by a haunting never-to-be-forgotten story that I am sure I will revisit in the future. A wonderful book.

I loved this, the narrator was fantastic, convicting voices of all of the characters and great pacing. I’m glad I listened to this rather than reading it because I know I would have rushed to the end because there was so much tension! I loved Emmet and was desperate to know what would happen! Highly recommend

Twists, tension and books!
