The Roots We Share: 100 Words That Bring Us Together

4.37 (132 ratings by Goodreads)
A Hardback by ,

Susie Dent, bestselling author, broadcaster and word expert, is on a mission to find 100 words and phrases to bring people together.

Sometimes it can feel like the world is more divided than ever. But there are so many more things that unite us than divide us. Susie has searched far and wide to unearth words and phrases that, in some cases, are long forgotten, while others have only just been discovered - words that celebrate harmony, unity and the universal languages that connect people across the world.

Whether you want to conjobble (chat with a friend over some food), to be goodwilly (a kind, generous, cheerful person), to atone for a mistake (become 'at' 'one' with someone again) or simply head off on a coddiwomple (a journey with no destination), this joyous collection of words celebrates friendship, love, peace, community, music, the stars and the many other things that unite us.
