#FridayReads The Binding by Bridget Collins. A rich Gothic fantasy, set in an alternative past which had me completely mesmerised. A powerful and poignant love story. Original and brilliant.

It is a rich, gothic entertainment that explores what books have trapped inside them and reminds us of the power of storytelling. Spellbinding."--Tracy Chevalier, bestselling author of Girl with a Pearl Earring
