Pip Williams on The Bookbinder of Jericho

Duration: 60 minutes

From the acclaimed author of The Dictionary of Lost Words comes The Bookbinder of Jericho, a melange of scrupulous historical detail and the richly imagined inner lives of women. Discussing her novel with Frances Whiting, Williams explores her attraction to historical narratives and why little-known pockets of history exert such power over our imaginations.
