The Bookbinder is a subtle romance, not untouched by the supernatural, which concentrates on a woman as she grows and changes under the influence of love and all its consequences. It is a happy story, but full of mysterious influences which guide her from the mountains of western North Carolina, where she lives and works, to beautiful Rome, where she meets the intriguing man who will become her lover and more. The novella is both charming and witty, and the reader is guaranteed to enjoy the characters and their verbal interplay. There is magic not only in them, but in the action and direction the book takes. Delightful reading for a day at the beach, a long evening at home, or a solo picnic in the mountains!
