La premisa era buena, pero el desarrollo se queda muy corto. Falta más interseccionalidad. Lo recomendaría si fuera un libro más corto. Creo que mi opinión del libro también cambiaría si lo hubiera leído en el idioma original.

Loved! Would read again and recommend to anyone who enjoys a little historical fiction! Well written storyline that incorporates real figures and events from history with enough character development that I got teary-eyed a couple of times!

I really enjoyed this historical novel that centered around the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary. I thought it incorporated the real-life characters well and took an interesting perspective on gender issues in the early 20th century.
