Descriere The Bookbinder's Daughter: An absolutely magical and gripping page-turner - Jessica Thorne

\nShaking, Sophie clutches her delicate leaf-shaped pendant. It belonged to her mother - who disappeared at Ayredale Library years ago. Now, she's invited to join Ayredale herself. Is this her chance to finally learn the truth? Sophie has always believed her mother abandoned her, and tries not to dwell on memories of laughter and bedtime stories. Arriving at the renowned Ayredale Library deep in the English countryside, Sophie feels strangely at home among her fellow bookbinders and the endless shelves of antique books. But everything changes when a beautiful door - engraved with a leaf matching her mother's old necklace - swings open at her touch. Sophie gasps at the impossible sight inside: a silver tree growing higher than the library itself. Amidst the gentle rustling leaves Sophie hears a familiar whisper, although there's no-one to be seen: 'There you are, my Sophie. I knew you'd come back for me.' Reeling, Sophie can't believe she is hearing her mother's voice. Could the magical library itself have stolen her mother away? Could the necklace unlock the secrets of the tree? Asking the enigmatic Keeper of the Library for answers gets her nothing but dire warnings - and when another face from her past appears at the grand doors of Ayredale, Sophie's blood runs cold at his sinister smile. Will she ever find the truth about her mother - or will Sophie be the next to disappear? An absolutely unputdownable read about long-hidden family secrets and the magic that lurks between the pages of every book. Perfect for fans of The Ten Thousand Doors of January, The Night Circus and The Binding.
