In the shadows of the great Oxford English Dictionary, a quiet revolution is born.
 
The Dictionary of Lost Words tells the unforgettable story of Esme, a girl raised in a world of words—yet silenced by the very system that defines them. While her father and his colleagues work tirelessly to preserve the English language, Esme discovers a parallel truth: the most powerful words are often the ones left out—spoken by women, the working class, and the unheard.
 
From whispered lullabies to protest chants and forgotten dialects, Esme collects discarded words, building her own dictionary in defiance of the era’s limitations. As she grows from curious child to determined woman, she begins to understand that language isn’t neutral—it’s shaped by power, history, and exclusion.
