Such a remarkable work—and such a labor of love to research and recreate the world of the Oxford English Dictionary! Esme is a character I will carry with me for a very long time, and I am so glad I had a chance to encounter and immerse myself in this world. Unique and a treat for the mind.

This does sound fascinating….thank you for introducing me to it!
I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did, Kathleen! Another one I read recently and really enjoyed was The Gown, fiction but heavily researched, about two embroiderers who worked on then-Princess Elizabeth’s wedding gown. A fascinating dive into 1947 England.
