17Reader Review - Top Read
Library customer Danielle has been
reading The Dictionary of Lost
Words, a debut novel by
Pip Williams.
This book is amazing.
The front cover originally caught
my eye and after reading the
concept I became intrigued and
decided to include it in my
selection of books for lockdown
reading. The story was not what I
was expecting, I didn’t really know
what to expect to be honest,
but I love everything about this
beautiful novel which has been my
best read of the year so far. I would
definitely recommend it.
