Description
London, chief city of Airstrip One, is home to Julia Worthing, a mechanic in the Fiction Department at the Ministry of Truth. Under the ideology of IngSoc and the rule of the Party, she navigates her world with cheerfulness and cynicism, balancing rules and rebellion.
In this gripping novel, Julia's life becomes complicated when she meets Winston Smith, a colleague from the Records Department. A seemingly innocuous encounter sparks a chain of events that forces Julia to confront the true nature of her society and the secrets she has kept hidden.
Seventy-five years after George Orwell penned his iconic novel, Sandra Newman offers a thought-provoking companion piece that explores the world of Big Brother from a fresh perspective. This is a story about survival, rebellion, and the power of human connection in a society where freedom is an illusion.
