I’m absolutely thrilled to be able to reveal the new cover of my next Jessica Thorne book, The Book Binder’s Daughter, which will be out on the 20th September 2021.

This is another one of those stories I have wanted to write for a very long time. I have always loved libraries and adore working in a library of strange and unusual books in my day job. I’ve been lucky enough to travel with work and to see some of the most beautiful libraries in the world. I was able to pour all of this and more into The Book Binder’s Daughter and the strange, beautiful and magical world of the Ayredale Special collection.

Many thanks to Bookouture, my agent Sallyanne and my editor Ellen for helping to make this happen. I hope you will be as enchanted by Ayredale as I am.
