lisathekidwrangler 's review for:

The Bookbinder of Jericho by Pip Williams
5.0

Read for book club and looking forward to discussing the many aspects of historical fiction, feminism, English class history and factory workers, the trauma and impact of war on everyone beyond the combatants, as well as the combatants themselves (and treatment of POWs), and then onto family and twin dynamics. This was a fascinating book to read and is a great work of historical fiction.
The only downside for me was the final few chapters. The pacing felt much slower and the storyline became a bit obvious. It felt to me like possibly those chapters were written first and then moved to the end of the book as they did not feel as finessed as the rest. Definitely a good read :)
