This month's book selection:

The Bookbinder by Pip Williams (2023) fiction.

Twin sisters with divergent life goals work in the bindery of the Oxford University Press during World War I. Ambitious, intelligent Peggy wants to read books, not just bind them, but Maude is happy with her life just the way it is. When war refugees arrive in Oxford, Peggy begins to envision a future where she can educate herself and use her intellect, not just her hands.
