Such a stunning story. Any bibliophile would love it, with its emphasis on words, where they come from and how they are used.

Esme's story was wonderful, hopeful, sometimes sad, and portrayed the difficulties or women and other minorities 1900s. Truly, a beautiful read for anyone who loves a period piece, loves words, and loves am emotionally gripping tale.
