Virtual Book Club: The Dictionary of Lost Words, DB 102981

Come to the Lighthouse’s Virtual Book Club for conversation and community!

This month we are reading: The Dictionary of Lost Words, DB 102981

The Dictionary of Lost Words is a first person fictional account of a woman named Esme Nicoll who spends most of her life around or directly working on the production of the Oxford English Dictionary. Esme lost her mother and has no real memory of her. She is raised by her father, Harry Nicoll, who is a lexicographer working on the OED. She spends some of her days during her earliest years under the sorting table at the Scriptorium where men, including her father, work on the dictionary.
