\n NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER \u2022 REESE\u2019S BOOK CLUB PICK \u2022 \u201cDelightful . . . [a] captivating and slyly subversive fictional paean to the real women whose work on the Oxford English Dictionary went largely unheralded.\u201d\u2014The New York Times Book Review <\/p>\n

\u201cA marvelous fiction about the power of language to elevate or repress.\u201d\u2014Geraldine Brooks, New York Times bestselling author of People of the Book<\/p>\n

Esme is born into a world of words. Motherless and irrepressibly curious, she spends her childhood in the Scriptorium, an Oxford garden shed in which her father and a team of dedicated lexicographers are collecting words for the very first Oxford English Dictionary. Young Esme\u2019s place is beneath the sorting table, unseen and unheard. One day a slip of paper containing the word bondmaid flutters beneath the table. She rescues the slip and, learning that the word means \u201cslave girl,\u201d begins to collect other words that have been discarded or neglected by the dictionary men.<\/p>\n

As she grows up, Esme realizes that words and meanings relating to women\u2019s and common folks\u2019 experiences often go unrecorded. And so she begins in earnest to search out words for her own dictionary: the Dictionary of Lost Words. To do so she must leave the sheltered world of the university and venture out to meet the people whose words will fill those pages.<\/p>\n

Set during the height of the women\u2019s suffrage movement and with the Great War looming, The Dictionary of Lost Words reveals a lost narrative, hidden between the lines of a history written by men. Inspired by actual events, author Pip Williams has delved into the archives of the Oxford English Dictionary to tell this highly original story. The Dictionary of Lost Words is a delightful, lyrical, and deeply thought-provoking celebration of words and the power of language to shape the world.<\/p>\n
