Wondrous Words Wednesday is hosted by BermudaOnion and is a weekly meme where you can share new words that you’ve encountered or spotlight words you love.
I'm highlighting words that are new to me/that I really like/that struck me for some reason..!
This week my words are all taken from The Silent Wife by A.S.A. Harrison (Headline) which I've just finished reading. I thought this was a really good, absorbing read and hope to review it soon.
