The Dictionary of Lost Words: The International Bestseller - Pip Williams - książka

Curious by nature and growing up without a mother, Esme spends her formative years with her father and his colleagues who are diligently compiling the first Oxford English Dictionary. One day, Esme notices a slip of paper with a neglected word land on the floor. Fascinated by this discovery, she decides to embark on a secret mission of her own—to create The Dictionary of Lost Words. This endeavor leads her into a transforming society on the edge of the Great War, where the women's suffrage movement is gaining momentum. As she delves into forgotten words, Esme wonders if these lost fragments of language could illuminate her own path forward.
