The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams is not what I expect I choose to read it because - well, dictionary and words! I am taken aback. The main character is a young girl at the start of the story. This is significant. I find myself not only following Esme's story but also looking up and reading the history of the dictionary, the women's suffrage movement, and the timing of that history. This story has made me stop and think about the words we use. For that lesson, it will stay with me for a long while.
