First edition. This copy signed by the author in black felt pen to the decorative title page. A wonderfully compelling and dark novel, and the author's debut following a series of plays and books for young adults. At its centre, the novel stems around one key concept; the idea that by binding your deepest secrets, painful memories or treacherous acts into book form, they can be instantly forgotten. When the protagonist Emmett Farmer is sent to become an apprentice to the master binder, he makes a chilling discovery; that one of the books already has his name on it. Shortlisted for the Waterstones book of the year, one Goodreads reviewer writes "If I could bind my memories into a book, I would start with the time I spent reading this". signed by author or artist.

Released to great international acclaim, 'The Horse Whisperer' was developed into a 1998 film starring Robert Redford and Scarlet Johansson, and centres around Grace and her horse Pilgrim, who suffer a traumatic accident and enlist the help of Tom Booker in order to repair their lives. Evans later wrote that the character was inspired by real-life horse whisperer Buck Brannaman, stating that "his skill, understanding and his gentle, loving heart have parted the clouds for countless troubled creatures. Buck is the Zen master of the horse world."A lovely copy.
