书名：The Binding
作者：Bridget Collins
内容简介：Books are dangerous things in Collins’s alternate universe, a place vaguely reminiscent of 19th-century England. It’s a world in which people visit book binders to rid themselves of painful or treacherous memories. Once their stories have been told and are bound between the pages of a book, the slate is wiped clean and their memories lose the power to hurt or haunt them.
After having suffered some sort of mental collapse and no longer able to keep up with his farm chores, Emmett Farmer is sent to the workshop of one such binder to live and work as her apprentice. Leaving behind home and family, Emmett slowly regains his health while learning the binding trade. He is forbidden to enter the locked room where books are stored, so he spends many months marbling end pages, tooling leather book covers, and gilding edges. But his curiosity is piqued by the people who come and go from the inner sanctum, and the arrival of the lordly Lucian Darnay, with whom he senses a connection, changes everything.

在柯林斯的平行宇宙中，书籍是危险的东西，这个地方隐约让人想起 19 世纪的英格兰。在这个世界里，人们访问装订器是为了摆脱痛苦或危险的记忆。一旦他们的故事被讲述并被装在书页之间，石板就会被擦干净，他们的记忆就失去了伤害或困扰他们的能力。
在遭受某种精神崩溃并且再也无法跟上他的农活后，埃米特法默被送到一个这样的活页夹的车间作为她的学徒生活和工作。离开家和家人，埃米特在学习绑定贸易的同时慢慢恢复了健康。他被禁止进入存放书籍的锁着的房间，所以他花了好几个月的时间在最后一页上大理石花纹，加工皮革书皮，并镀金边缘。但他的好奇心被从内殿来来往往的人们激起，而尊贵的卢锡安·达尔奈的到来让他感觉到了一种联系，改变了一切。
