商品簡介
Reese Witherspoon has selected Pip Williams’ international bestseller The Dictionary of Lost Words for her influential Reese’s Book Club pick for May 2022
'An enchanting story about love, loss and the power of language' Elizabeth Macneal, author of The Doll Factory Sometimes you have to start with what's lost to truly find yourself... Motherless and irrepressibly curious, Esme spends her childhood at her father's feet as he and his team gather words for the very first Oxford English Dictionary. One day, she sees a slip of paper containing a forgotten word flutter to the floor unclaimed.
And so Esme begins to collect words for another dictionary in secret: The Dictionary of Lost Words. But to do so she must journey into a world on the cusp of change as the Great War looms and women fight for the vote. Can the power of lost words from the past finally help her make sense of her future?
‘An extraordinary, charming novel... Williams pins a whole, rich life to the page’ The Times
‘Poignant, perfectly paced... a beautifully nuanced work’ Mail on Sunday
‘Williams's satisfying novel animates a fascinating history and imbues it with a feminist slant, asking how words mean different things to men and women.’ Sunday Times
