The Dictionary of Lost Words
Sometimes you must begin with what’s been overlooked to find who you are. In this bestselling novel Pip Williams follows Esme, a motherless child raised at her father’s feet as he helps compile the first Oxford English Dictionary. When a slip of paper carrying a forgotten word flutters to the floor, Esme begins secretly collecting words that others ignore. As the Great War approaches and the suffrage movement gains momentum, Esme’s private lexicon becomes a quiet act of rebellion — and a map to understanding identity, language and belonging. Ideal for readers who appreciate literary historical fiction and novels about language, activism and female courage.

The Bookbinder of Jericho
Set against the upheaval of World War One, this novel follows Peggy, a skilled bookbinder whose life shifts as men leave for the Western Front and women take on new responsibilities. Peggy navigates her narrowboat full of memories and the bustling bookbindery where she works, discovering unexpected friendships, love and the chance to craft her own future. Williams portrays the wartime home front with warmth and a keen eye for everyday heroism — a perfect choice for fans of women’s historical fiction, workplace drama and intimate relationship stories.
