A review by prettylightsandcitynights
The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams

Did not finish book.

Was reading for a book club which fell apart. Not my kind of book so I stopped reading. Was well-written, I just didn't get sucked in.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Grief

Moderate: Pregnancy and Sexism

Minor: Blood, Suicidal thoughts, and Death of parent

The book is set around the turn of the 20th century so there is obviously sexism and misogyny.

Spoiler

There is an unplanned pregnancy of a single woman. She gives the baby up for adoption and suffers post-partum depression.
