Non-spoiler review.
by Sonali Dutta
Rewriting the past, normally in the form of time travel, is a common trope in fantasy literature. Bridget Collins explores this in a new way through book binding in her new novel The Binding. Our protagonist, Emmet Farmer, is from a rural family and is recovering from a mysterious illness at the opening of the novel. He has lived a simple life, yet one day is summoned to become a apprentice to a bookbinder. Books in this world are created by removing a person’s memories to create a physical object of what has happened to them. As the novel progresses, teenage Emmet is surprised to find a binding with his own name on it.
