There are a quarter of a million words in the current Oxford Dictionary of English but there's only one word for 'love': A romance with some rowing thrown in.
When lexicologist, Daisy, decides to learn how to scull as part of her recovery from a mastectomy, she discovers her coach is as tongue-tied as she is garrulous.
Over ten lessons as Daisy swaps lexicological nuggets for tips on her technique we discover why Dylan is so monosyllabic and
witness as they both begin to define themselves other than by what they have lost.
