The Bookbinder
by Pip Williams
The Bookbinder is more of a companion book than a sequel to The Dictionary of Lost Words; with more or less the same setting (turn-of-the-century Oxford, England), an introduction of new characters for the main story arc while familiar ones are sidelined to minor roles or cameos. What remains constant is the feminist perspectives of language, learning, love, loss, sacrifice, gender and class. For the development of these elements, I award five stars, but I've removed one star for the disappointing open-ended conclusion of the tale....
