Review

'A wonderful book, whose vividly-drawn characters tell the story of a pivotal period in women's history as they work behind the scenes in the bindery of the Oxford University Press. I could almost smell the ink and hear the whisper of the pages being folded, as the novel followed their traumas and their triumphs against the harrowing backdrop of the First World War.' - Fiona Valpy, author of The Dressmaker’s Gift.

An immersive and compelling tale ... Williams is a fresh, exciting new voice in historical fiction. I can't wait to see what she does next - Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife and When the Stars Go Dark

A compelling, beautifully written homage to the transformational power of books, set against the tragic backdrop of the First World War. - Daisy Wood, author of The Forgotten Bookshop in Paris

Confident and considered ... Williams fully inhabits the world of the bindery and it shows - there's hardly a page out of place - The Guardian

Vibrant, socially astute historical fiction, it's laden with details sure to enthral bibliophiles - Mail on Sunday

About the Author

Pip Williams was born in London, grew up in Sydney and now calls the Adelaide Hills home. She is the author of the international number one bestseller, The Dictionary of Lost Words, described by The Times as 'an extraordinary, charming novel'. It was also a New York Times bestseller, a Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick and has been translated into over thirty languages to worldwide acclaim. Pip's second novel, The Bookbinder of Jericho, sprang from her discovery of archival footage of women who worked in the bindery of Oxford University Press during the early twentieth century. When she tried to find out more about them, there was almost nothing. Despite their important role in the production of books, barely a word has been written about them until now.
