Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. 3.5 Stars. The Binder of Lost Stories is unapologetically romantic. It is about the love of books (the items themselves along with the treasures hidden within them), the love between people born from intellectual connection and respect, the love of family, and most importantly, having love for oneself. The alternating dual timelines and epistolary elements in The Binder of Lost Stories imbue a fairytale-like mystique and enchantment. Both the historical and modern-day plots include echoes of Cinderella and hinge on happy coincidences. In regards to the latter, it is just fortunate I think that I was in the mood for a little escapism. And, Caboni dials up the charm and ethereal quality of this novel by beginning each chapter with apt, evocative and iconic quotes from great authors, poets and playwrights throughout history.

With her delicate touch, Sofia Bauer restores books to their original splendor. In this art she finds refuge from her crumbling marriage and the feeling that her once-vibrant life is slipping away. Then an antique German edition takes her breath away. Slipped covertly into the endpapers is an intriguing missive, the first part of a secret...from one bookbinder to another. Two hundred years ago, Clarice von Harmel defied the constraints of family and society to engage in a profession forbidden to women. Within three separate volumes, Clarice bound her own hidden story filled with pain, longing, and love beyond all reason. A confession that now crosses centuries to touch the heart of a stranger.

The parallel stories within the book push the action and plot forward, using cliff-hanger endings to keep the reader engaged, although things slowed down and lagged a bit at the end. Themes of romance and love underlie the main plot line. The characters are described quite well, with just enough detail to allow the reader to paint his or her mental picture of them. Spanning several countries in Europe, the descriptive settings draw the reader into the world of antique books, libraries, book binding, and handwriting analysis. Readers will find no graphic descriptions of violence or intimacy, although these elements are present in the story. Those who enjoy a thoughtfully paced novel set in exotic locales, with an added interest in books, will find this an enjoyable read.
I received this book from the publisher and from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own. ( )
