The Bookbinder of Jericho by Pip Williams
5.0
Lovely read , I think this could have been condensed to 200 pages .
The varied characters ,their lot in life , their unmet desires , the invisible lines drawn to keep people out were beautifully laid bare .
It’s a story of twin sisters who work at the Oxford
University press in Jericho set in the background of World War 1.
I found the few discussions and quotes from the classic very enjoyable, I wish there was more of it .
The way Peggy treated Bastiaan was no different to how her father treated and abandoned her mother , the irony of it , was she didn’t even realise that .
Bastiaan obviously had a large heart and didn’t hold a grudge and accepted her back when she realized her prospects didn’t improve .
The cruel realities of war and the profound loss that cannot be measured , is another poignant reminder that war has to be avoided .
Diplomacy , peace has to prevail .
Books like these highlight the importance of the tragedies of war. Reading history it is so clear that there was a complete decline in morality and family values leading to a very fractured society after the second world war .The post trauma effects of war , made people just run wild.
