People’s memories being twisted and read as popular entertainment.Ĭaught up in this is a young farm boy called Emmett, who finds himself apprenticed to a Book binder. Such a clever twist to repurpose the value of a book and what it contains. But not everyone is so honourable and some of these ‘books’ are sold as novels for others to read. A book of memories that remove whatever it is you don’t want to remember, supposedly locked away safely in a vault. What a clever book! Such an original idea to bind memories into a book with the person’s name on it. Then one day Emmett makes an astonishing discovery: one of the volumes has his name on it. In a vault under his mentor’s workshop, row upon row of books – and secrets – are meticulously stored and recorded. If you have something you want to forget, or a secret to hide, he can bind it – and you will never have to remember the pain it caused. His job is to hand-craft beautiful books and, within each, to capture something unique and extraordinary: a memory.
