The Dictionary of Lost Words is written from the first person point of view from the perspective of the protagonist, Esme Nicoll.

I found the first-person perspective really effective here because it lets us experience Esme’s thoughts and changing understanding of language more directly. It also makes the historical setting feel much more personal and grounded.
