A charmingly warm & hopeful story of love, friendship, & the power of human connection. Award-winning Japanese author Shion Miura's novel is a reminder that a life dedicated to passion is a life well lived. Inspired as a boy by the multiple meanings to be found for a single word in the dictionary, Kohei Araki is devoted to the notion that a dictionary is a boat to carry us across the sea of words. But after thirty-seven years creating them at Gembu Books, it's time for him to retire & find his replacement.

He discovers a kindred spirit in Mitsuya Majime--a young, disheveled square peg with a penchant for collecting antiquarian books & a background in linguistics--whom he swipes from his company's sales department. Led by his new mentor & joined by an energetic, if reluctant, new recruit & an elder linguistics scholar, Majime is tasked with a career-defining accomplishment: completing The Great Passage, a comprehensive 2,900-page tome of the Japanese language. On his journey, Majime discovers friendship, romance, & an incredible dedication to his work, inspired by the bond that connects us all: words. An Earphones Award Winner, Fiction
