Confused and abandoned, he tries to enbrace his new life but something is missing, just out of his reach, calling to him and he can’t settle until he finds it. People’s memories being twisted and read as popular entertainment.Ĭaught up in this is a young farm boy called Emmett, who finds himself apprenticed to a Book binder. Such a clever twist to repurpose the value of a book and what it contains. But not everyone is so honourable and some of these ‘books’ are sold as novels for others to read. A book of memories that remove whatever it is you don’t want to remember, supposedly locked away safely in a vault. What a clever book! Such an original idea to bind memories into a book with the person’s name on it. Then one day Emmett makes an astonishing discovery: one of the volumes has his name on it. In a vault under his mentor’s workshop, row upon row of books – and secrets – are meticulously stored and recorded. If you have something you want to forget, or a secret to hide, he can bind it – and you will never have to remember the pain it caused. His job is to hand-craft beautiful books and, within each, to capture something unique and extraordinary: a memory.
