Library Through the Lens: Pip Williams 'The Dictionary of Lost Words'

Join the author who became a global sensation even before her debut novel was published, following an international rights frenzy that has not been seen for an Australian book since Markus Zusak's, The Book Thief.

Set when the women’s suffrage movement was at its height and the Great War loomed, The Dictionary of Lost Words reveals a lost narrative, hidden between the lines of a history written by men. It’s a delightful, lyrical and deeply thought-provoking celebration of words, and the power of language to shape our experience of the world.
