The bookbinder

The bookbinder

Our review

A perfect book for young fantasy lovers who want to discover the wonderful craft of bookbinding through fiction. In our opinion, the first part is the most interesting, as it delves into this figure and the mystery. The second part develops the main plot, adding desire and love.

Would you bury your memories in a book? That's the proposition made by The Bookbinder, a novel of fantasy, mystery, history, and love. It's an enjoyable story that evokes a dying craft. We recommend it if you like to flow with the pages, if you love light fantasy with restrained action and a touch of romance.

If you let yourself go, you'll enjoy it a lot, but don't expect an intense thriller with a fireworks ending.

He doesn't want to be a bookbinder or be with that woman, but something slowly begins to change within him.
