The Dictionary of Lost Words is a sweeping historical tale that follows a young woman, Esme, as she navigates the patriarchal world of Victorian England.
It’s 1886, and the very first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary is being compiled. Young Esme Nicoll has a front row seat. Well, she’s hiding under the sorting table, anyway. As her father and his male colleagues decide which words stay and which go, Esme collects the discarded scraps to compile her own radical, magical dictionary.
