The Binding

Bridget Collins, Borough Press, £12.99

This book sees Emmet, a farmhand, tumbled into a world of binding tomes.

And it’s not just pages he’s sewing up and keeping safe, but peoples’ memories, past deeds and regrets. Then he uncovers a book containing his own secrets. Dark and atmospheric with a seductive love story, this is a perfect fireside read.

OUR VERDICT 7/10
