Imagine you could forget your pain. Imagine you could hide a secret. Forever. Emmett Farmer is working in the fields when a letter arrives summoning him to begin an apprenticeship.

He will learn to hand-craft beautiful volumes, and within each he will capture something unique and extraordinary: a memory. If there''s something you want to forget, he can help. If there''s something you need to erase, he can assist. Your past will be stored safely in a book and you will never remember your secret, however terrible. In a vault under his mentor''s workshop, row upon row of books - and memories - are meticulously stored and recorded. Then one day Emmett makes an astonishing discovery: one of them has his name on it. THE BINDING is an unforgettable, magical novel: a boundary-defying love story and a unique literary event. ---------------- ''Brilliant'' JOANNA CANNON ''Spellbinding'' Guardian ''Magic'' ERIN KELLY ''Immersive'' Sunday Times ''Gorgeous'' STELLA DUFFY ...
