The Bookbinder of Jericho (2023)

Peggy binds books at Oxford University Press while wanting access to the learning inside them. The First World War changes the workforce and brings new people into a life already shaped by her twin sister and their shared home. Enjoy the details of making a physical book, but notice the different expectations placed on hands and minds. A warm, accessible choice about education, care and the cost of trying to move beyond an assigned place.
