Description
The Dictionary of Lost Words is a moving tale of love, loss, and the power of language. In the early 20th century, a young girl named Esme begins to collect words for a secret dictionary, one that will help her make sense of her future.
As Esme navigates the world on the cusp of change, she must confront the challenges of her own past and the changing times. With the Great War looming and women fighting for the vote, Esme's journey is filled with hope, heartache, and the transformative power of words.
This beautifully written story is a tribute to the enduring magic of language and the women who have shaped it.
