Pip Williams has crafted a love letter to language, the written word, and the artistry of book making. We may take libraries and knowledge for granted in the modern age, but they still hold infinite possibilities.
In The Bookbinder of Jericho we consider the women of World War I: suffragettes, nurses on the front lines, refugees, those who stayed behind to work in factories or look after families. The friendships, love, and loss of the main characted are fictional, but rooted in the realities of that horrible war.
Sisterhood got them through then and it will get us through what is to come now.
