Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Oxford, The Dictionary of Lost Words follows Esme, a girl immersed in the world of words and the making of the Oxford English Dictionary. As she secretly collects discarded and overlooked words, especially those relating to women's experiences, she uncovers the power of language to shape and reflect society. This lyrical novel explores themes of gender, history, and the significance of words in uncovering lost narratives.
