As World War One brings women unexpected new freedoms, bookbinder Peggy has the chance at a new future.
'Vivid and moving ... I absolutely loved it!' Ruth Hogan, author of The Keeper of Lost Things
'Charming, original and beautifully researched' Rachel Hore, author of A Beautiful Spy
'When the men leave for the Western Front, Peggy and her friends must shoulder the burden at home.
As she moves between her narrowboat full of memories and the demands of the bookbindery where she works, Peggy's dreams of escaping for a new life feel ever more remote.
But the war brings people together in unexpected ways. New friends and lovers offer new opportunities but also present difficult choices - and Peggy must write her own story.
'A fresh, exciting new voice in historical fiction' Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife
'A compelling homage to the transformational power of books' Daisy Wood, author of The Forgotten Bookshop in Paris

There is feminism in language!
"The Bookbinder of Jericho" is the second book I read by Pip Williams. Her first novel "The Dictionary of Lost Words" is the precursor to this book, although both can be read as standalones. However, you will get some fun easter eggs, when reading them in the intended order. Set in 1914 England, the reader gets introduced to the twins Peggy and Maude. Their mother passed away a while ago, leaving Peggy to take care of her disabled sister. The twins work in a bookbindery, both loving to read, which is uncommen for women in their time. At the start of the first world war, the men get sent away, leaving the women to keep the bindery running. This leaves Peggy with a choice: Will she stay and take care of Maude? Or will she find her place in the world and study at the university? Pip Williams is an incredible writer and you can tell that she does her research well! The way language and words are described in her books is beautiful, giving them so much power especially for women. Wether you're into historical fiction or not, I think this book could be for anyone!
