One day a slip of paper containing the word bondmaid flutters beneath the table. She rescues the slip, and is told that the word means "slave girl." Learning that words relating to women's and common folks' experiences often go unrecorded, Esme begins to collect other words discarded by the dictionary men. As she grows up, Esme begins in earnest to search out words for her own dictionary: the Dictionary of Lost Words. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Fiction Williams Checked out 07/06/2024 Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Williams Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Fiction Williams Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hana P/S Library Adult Fiction Williams Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Williams Item being held   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Williams Checked out 06/18/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Fiction Williams Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Fiction Williams Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Williams Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Williams Transit Request   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
