Description
Esme is a motherless girl who grows up in the world of the Oxford English Dictionary, where her father and his team compile words. One day, she discovers a forgotten word and starts her own secret project, collecting lost words for a new dictionary. As she navigates the challenges of her time, including the looming Great War and women's suffrage, Esme seeks to understand her identity and the significance of language. This story explores themes of love, loss, and the importance of words in shaping one's future.
