A review by kcrawfish
The Road to Wigan Pier by George Orwell

3.0

This was an interesting read, an examination of class and prejudice, as well as a time capsule to life in post WW1, pre WW2 England. The beginning detailed the bleak state of working class people in the depression-era, which evolved into the upper middle class’s view of the working class, and the deep underlying prejudice Orwell’s contemporaries had for (simultaneously) the rich as well as the poor. The latter part of the book was the more overtly political, and altogether, I’ll close how I opened, it was an interesting read.
