Description
Anna Funder's Wifedom: Mrs Orwell's Invisible Life is a masterful portrait of a remarkable woman, Eileen O'Shaughnessy, whose literary brilliance and practicality played a pivotal role in shaping George Orwell's work and saving his life.
Through newly discovered letters from Eileen to her best friend, Funder recreates the Orwells' marriage, set against the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War and WW II in London. As she unravels the story of Eileen's life, Funder raises profound questions about the role of women in writing and the sacrifices made for the sake of art.
This compelling and original biography sheds new light on a pivotal moment in literary history, offering a breathtakingly intimate view of one of the most important marriages of the 20th century.
