He is to begin an apprenticeship as a Bookbinder--a vocation that arouses fear, superstition, and prejudice amongst their small community, but one neither he nor his parents can afford to refuse. For as long as he can recall, Emmett has been drawn to books, even though they are strictly forbidden. Bookbinding is a sacred calling, Seredith informs her new apprentice, and he is a binder born. Under the old woman's watchful eye, Emmett learns to hand-craft the elegant leather-bound volumes. Within each one they will capture something unique and extraordinary: a memory. If there's something you want to forget, a binder can help. If there's something you need to erase, they can assist. Within the pages of the books they create, secrets are concealed and the past is locked away. In a vault under his mentor's workshop rows upon rows of books are meticulously stored. But while Seredith is an artisan, there are others of their kind, avaricious and amoral tradesman who use their talents for dark ends--and just as Emmett begins to settle into his new circumstances, he makes an astonishing discovery: one of the books has his name on it. Soon, everything he thought he understood about his life will be dramatically rewritten. An unforgettable novel of enchantment, mystery, memory, and forbidden love, The Binding is a beautiful homage to the allure and life-changing power of books--and a reminder to us all that knowledge can be its own kind of magic."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Fiction Collins   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Fiction Collins   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Collins   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Collins [fantasy] Checked out 07/08/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Fiction Collins   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Collins   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Collins   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Science Fiction Collins   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Fiction Collins   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Fiction Collins   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
