Status Updates From The Dictionary of Lost Words

Esme bending the pin hat of Lizzie’s mum and putting it on the floor is awful.

Esmes dad just found out she’s been pocketing words.

So far a good foundation of world building. I like Esme’s character she’s highly intelligent but her softness makes her a more realistic 10 year old. I’m interested to learn more about her mother’s tragic death. There’s a lot of female characters that are clearly going to show the variety of roles women had in those times e.g Lizzie & her sisters being in the service & Edith is going to be a suffragette.

Have to return this to the library today but trust I’ll be back to finish it
