Oxford, Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. Esme wächst in einer Welt der Wörter auf. Unter dem Schreibtisch ihres Vaters, der als Lexikograph am ersten Oxford English Dictionary arbeitet, liest sie neugierig heruntergefallene Papiere auf. Nach und nach erkennt sie, was die männlichen Gelehrten oft achtlos verwerfen und nicht in das Wörterbuch aufnehmen: Es sind allesamt Begriffe, die Frauen betreffen. Entschlossen legt Esme ihre eigene Sammlung an, will die Wörter festhalten, die fern der Universität wirklich gesprochen werden. Sie stürzt sich ins Leben, findet Verbündete, entdeckt die Liebe und beginnt für die Rechte der Frauen zu kämpfen. »Eine wunderschöne Erkundung der Geschichte und der Macht der Sprache. Dieser subversive Roman verwebt stimmungsvoll Liebe, Verlust und Literatur – für alle, die Wörter lieben und feiern.« Reese Witherspoon

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • “Delightful . . . [a] captivating and slyly subversive fictional paean to the real women whose work on the Oxford English Dictionary went largely unheralded.”—The New York Times Book Review “A marvelous fiction about the power of language to elevate or repress.”—Geraldine Brooks, New York Times bestselling author of People of the Book Esme is born into a world of words. Motherless and irrepressibly curious, she spends her childhood in the Scriptorium, an Oxford garden shed in which her father and a team of dedicated lexicographers are collecting words for the very first Oxford English Dictionary. Young Esme’s place is beneath the sorting table, unseen and unheard. One day a slip of paper containing the word bondmaid flutters beneath the table. She rescues the slip and, learning that the word means “slave girl,” begins to collect other words that have been discarded or neglected by the dictionary men. As she grows up, Esme realizes that words and meanings relating to women’s and common folks’ experiences often go unrecorded. And so she begins in earnest to search out words for her own dictionary: the Dictionary of Lost Words. To do so she must leave the sheltered world of the university and venture out to meet the people whose words will fill those pages. Set during the height of the women’s suffrage movement and with the Great War looming, The Dictionary of Lost Words reveals a lost narrative, hidden between the lines of a history written by men. Inspired by actual events, author Pip Williams has delved into the archives of the Oxford English Dictionary to tell this highly original story. The Dictionary of Lost Words is a delightful, lyrical, and deeply thought-provoking celebration of words and the power of language to shape the world. WINNER OF THE AUSTRALIAN BOOK INDUSTRY AWARD

In 1901, the word 'Bondmaid' was discovered missing from the Oxford English Dictionary. This is the story of the girl who stole it. Esme is born into a world of words. Motherless and irrepressibly curious, she spends her childhood in the 'Scriptorium', a garden shed in Oxford where her father and a team of dedicated lexicographers are collecting words for the very first Oxford English Dictionary. Esme's place is beneath the sorting table, unseen and unheard. One day a slip of paper containing the word 'bondmaid' flutters to the floor. Esme rescues the slip and stashes it in an old wooden case that belongs to her friend, Lizzie, a young servant in the big house. Esme begins to collect other words from the Scriptorium that are misplaced, discarded or have been neglected by the dictionary men. They help her make sense of the world. Over time, Esme realises that some words are considered more important than others, and that words and meanings relating to women's experiences often go unrecorded. While she dedicates her life to the Oxford English Dictionary, secretly, she begins to collect words for another dictionary: The Dictionary of Lost Words. 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 the world and our experience of it.

England, 1914: Als die Männer in den Krieg ziehen, halten die Frauen die Nation am Laufen. Zwei von ihnen sind die Zwillingsschwestern Peggy und Maude, die in der Buchbinderei der Oxford University Press im Arbeiterviertel Jericho arbeiten und auf einem Hausboot voller Bücher leben. Peggy träumt davon, eines Tages an der Universität zu studieren. Doch ihr wird gesagt: „Dein Job ist es, die Bücher zu binden und nicht zu lesen!“. Maude ist ein ganz besonderes, verletzliches Mädchen, und Peggy fühlt sich nach dem Tod ihrer Mutter für ihre Schwester verantwortlich. Mit der Ankunft von belgischen Flüchtlingen in Oxford und der Unterstützung neuer Freunde rücken Peggys Träume ganz unerwartet in greifbare Nähe. Und sie beschließt, eine andere Zukunft für sich zu erschaffen – eine, in der sie nicht nur ihre Hände, sondern auch ihren Verstand einsetzen kann. Ein emanzipatorischer Roman, der Licht wirft auf die unsichtbare Arbeit von Frauen und das alte Handwerk des Buchbindens Der Nr.-1-Bestseller aus Australien: Ein historischer Schmöker für Buchliebhaber*innen zum Eintauchen und Entspannen »(Williams) Charaktere sind so überzeugend, so voller Leben, dass sie eher entdeckt als erfunden wirken.« (The Sydney Morning Herald)

A young British woman working in a book bindery gets a chance to pursue knowledge and love when World War I upends her life in this new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the Reese’s Book Club pick The Dictionary of Lost Words. “Williams spins an immersive and compelling tale, sweeping us back to the Oxford she painted so expertly in The Dictionary of Lost Words.”—Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife It is 1914, and as the war draws the young men of Britain away to fight, women must keep the nation running. Two of those women are Peggy and Maude, twin sisters who live on a narrow boat in Oxford and work in the bindery at the university press. Ambitious, intelligent Peggy has been told for most of her life that her job is to bind the books, not read them—but as she folds and gathers pages, her mind wanders to the opposite side of Walton Street, where the female students of Oxford’s Somerville College have a whole library at their fingertips. Maude, meanwhile, wants nothing more than what she has: to spend her days folding the pages of books in the company of the other bindery girls. She is extraordinary but vulnerable, and Peggy feels compelled to watch over her. Then refugees arrive from the war-torn cities of Belgium, sending ripples through the Oxford community and the sisters’ lives. Peggy begins to see the possibility of another future where she can educate herself and use her intellect, not just her hands. But as war and illness reshape her world, her love for a Belgian soldier—and the responsibility that comes with it—threaten to hold her back. The Bookbinder is a story about knowledge—who creates it, who can access it, and what truths get lost in the process. Much as she did in the international bestseller The Dictionary of Lost Words, Pip Williams thoughtfully explores another rarely seen slice of history through women’s eyes.
