The book was very lovely, in a fashion that I don’t often look to when it comes to books. It portrays events that have come and went, and that I am glad our modern world is all the better for. The protagonist is a curious one, and I am glad to have gotten a glimpse of her world through her eyes.

I keep waiting for the story to get interesting. It never did.

This book touched the heart of my soul. It was a sweet and touching story, but it was also an intellectual read. It was troubling but also uplifting and very meaningful. Excellent character development and an unprecedented display of passion.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading The Dictionary Of Lost Words. The style of writing, the dynamic events, the twists of the plot have left me feeling a full range of emotions. I am grateful to the author for his work, thank you!

Great story, a must read, and honestly one of my favorite books that I’ve ever read

I so loved this book that I looked forward to reading it every night. The characters are so real. The journey of one little girls life throughout the early 1900’s. Women rights, war and sense of serving mankind ., made me read late into the night.

This book weaves the human history of speech and words with the achingly beautiful meaning of what has been lost and then found, it is a profoundly beautiful read that I will pick up again and again.

Lush, rich with characters and the words they speak. Young Esme draws the reader along with the story of both a woman in a somewhat cloistered environment and her glorious grasp of words and their nuances.

Overall a good read, moving and important ideas. A bit slow in parts that had me skimming a few paragraphs, but overall got to its point and was quite moving in the final quarter. Worth your time.
