This place built the city. It built the nation. The empire. All of it. This is power. This is where the histories are. This is where the great philosophers are. This is where the secrets that arm our soldiers are written. This is where the next secrets will be found... The Book That Wouldn't Burn is about many things - adventure, discovery, and romance. But at its heart this is a love letter to books and the places where they live. The focus is on one vast and timeless library, but the love expands to encompass smaller, more personal collections, and bookshops of all shades too. It is novel wrapped around the theme of books, and society, and how they interact. About access to information, the difference between information and truth, the seduction of convenient lies, and the danger of knowledge not tempered by wisdom. It's also about the almost sacred awe a big library, church-quiet, can inspire.
