The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams (book review) – the guardian of words who was ahead of her time

The Dictionary of Lost Words is definitely one my favourite books of 2021 so far! It is a touching and inspiring story of a woman who was born ahead of her time, a woman whose determination and courage represent the stories of real women who contributed to the first Oxford English Dictionary.

The Girl with the Louding Voice by Abi DarΓ© (book review) – a girl’s fight for education in Nigeria

The Girl with the Louding Voice tells an incredibly inspiring story of a young girl from Nigeria. It presents the realities of girls born in poor families in rural Nigeria and how domestic slavery is the beaten path for many of them. A story I recommend reading with all my heart!
