Description:
|
No one is better placed to decipher the cryptic language contained in a series of anonymous letters, than their recipient, the editing team at Oxford’s Clarendon English Dictionary. The letters focus on the year – a decade earlier – when Charlie, sister of the now senior editor Martha Thornhill, disappeared… With excellent pacing and sustained tension, this clever and stimulating mystery is woven through with literary allusions, snippets of history and unashamed delight in the joys and challenges of lexicography.
