A review by kirahaynes
The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams
4.0
Read for my book club
( the list I’m adding is my things to bring up in book club so it’s kinda all jumbled around)
- I felt like I should’ve known more of the dictionary words and meanings
- I found esme and her dads relationship triggering and I was waiting for him to hurt her
- Strange ( in a good way) that esme wasn’t sexualised by her dads coworkers as a child and me crane was just found her annoying ( still sexist though)
- I was so sad whenever she mentioned her daughter and the loss she felt
- Cried when her dad died
- I loved when she described the women of Jericho adopting the wounded local soldiers as they would if the guy was their family and hoping for positive news
- Gareth’s letter broke my heart and made me cry
- Cried at the end
- Glad we got to see who Megan grew up to be even is esme didn’t
