The Dictionary of Lost Words is one of the most successful and beloved Australian novels ever published. Now Pip Williams has published The Bookbinder of Jericho, a beautiful companion novel that is just as intelligent, thoughtful and rich as her debut.

Familiar characters return in a standalone story that explores another little-known slice of history seen through women’s eyes. It’s a story about knowledge – who makes it, who can access it, and what is lost when it is withheld – intelligently raising questions of class and gender that remain remarkably relevant today as they were in 1914.

Pip Williams became an international bestselling author with The Dictionary of Lost Words, based on her original research in the Oxford English Dictionary archives. The Bookbinder of Jericho combines her talent for historical research and beautiful storytelling. 

Pip will be in conversation with Karen Viggers, award-winning, international bestselling author of The Stranding, The Lightkeeper’s Wife, The Grass Castle and The Orchardist’s Daughter.
