ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Binding" by Bridget Collins tells the story of Emmett Farmer, who becomes an apprentice at a bindery where books are made from people's memories. The narrative explores a world where individuals can have their painful or unwanted memories extracted and bound into books, offering a way to forget their past. The story also focuses on Lucian Darnay, a man seeking his own bound memories. Together, Emmett and Lucian uncover a dark trade that exploits individuals, especially the poor, for profit, revealing how the upper classes use the process of binding to control others. The book delves into themes of memory, identity, and the ethics of power, questioning whether it is right to manipulate people's stories for personal gain. It also explores love and relationships as a way to overcome hardship and trauma.
