Who listen, edited, organised a household to create space for men to write. For me, the real success of this book, is to look at the life of Eileen Blair and consider how her ‘Wifedom’ under pinned George Orwell’s literary career.
It’s impossible not to have to reconsider Orwell’s legacy in view of what this book reveals.
Anna Funder’s autoethnographic sections are excellent.
