Notes From Your Bookseller
Appreciate the absurdity of language with this dual-narrative story of a Victorian-era dictionary editor and the young intern tasked with combing through his work 100 years later. The awkward complexities of life transcend time in this charming and oddly funny work.
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “You wouldn’t expect a comic novel about a dictionary to be a thriller too, but this one is. In fact, [it] is also a mystery, love story (two of them) and cliffhanging melodrama.” —The New York Times Book Review
An award-winning novel that chronicles the charming misadventures of a lovelorn Victorian lexicographer and the young woman put on his trail a century later to root out his misdeeds while confronting questions of her own sexuality and place in the world.
