The bookbinder's secret
A. D. Bell (作者)
Set in Oxford and London at the beginning of the 20th century, this novel follows Lilian Delaney, an apprentice bookbinder working in a traditionally male trade. While assisting with a private collection, she encounters a damaged book containing a concealed letter dating back fifty years that references a past relationship and a violent crime. As Lilian searches for additional books containing hidden documents, she uncovers a story of forbidden love and unresolved wrongdoing. Her investigation leads her through the worlds of antiquarian bookselling, private collectors, and archival records. As competing interests seek the same materials, the pursuit becomes increasingly dangerous, forcing Lilian to weigh the risks of continuing her search against her own safety
