wanda12 's review for:

The Bookbinder by Pip Williams
4.0

I enjoyed the characters and and the setting (WWI in Jericho, Oxford, 1914-1920). Peggy and Maude are twins, townies in Jericho working as binders in the print shop. Gwen, Tilda, Rosie, Lott, and Bastian all make the important people in Peggy and Maude's lives. I loved reading about their struggles as the faced war and the Spanish flu. I felt the book was well researched and enjoyed the Author's Note detailing the true events, people, and places she used as inspiration.
