The Great Passage by Shion Miura

4.0

I must admit that as I began reading this book I thought that maybe I was missing something in the translation. I mean this is a book about the writing of a dictionary - the boring old dictionary. However, as I read on and became enamored with the quirky, delightful people who worked in the Dictionary Editorial Department creating the newest dictionary The Great Passage I realized that this book is about the love and friendship that develops when people work with each other over a long period of time. Life is The Great Passage and if you're lucky you will find people who love the work that you also love and make each day of work worthwhile.
