Description
George Orwell stopped writing his wartime diary in August 1941 and resumed six months later. What happened during those missing months is the subject of Peter Hodgkinson's debut novel, Orwell Calling. Working for the BBC as a radio producer in the India Section of the Eastern Service, Orwell was tasked with producing British propaganda to counter growing demands for India's independence. However, he soon found himself entangled in a complex web of espionage and deceit. One of his young Indian assistants went missing, and Inspector Charles Percy of Scotland Yard suspected Orwell of being involved in her disappearance. It was during this period that Orwell developed many of the ideas and themes that would later appear in his famous novel 1984. This gripping historical thriller offers a fresh perspective on one of the most pivotal periods in modern history.
