A review by minniepauline
Wifedom: Mrs. Orwell's Invisible Life by Anna Funder

dark emotional informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

Funder’s book is extremely well-researched, thoughtful and thought-provoking. She cares deeply about her subject and it comes through on every page. She writes with the beauty of a novelist, or maybe a poet. But what she has surmised (which is set apart from the rest of the text) fits well with the evidence, as well making me cry in various places. I would love to see this book make the Women’s Prize shortlist. And thank you to the Women’s Prize for putting it on your first even nonfiction longlist, which is how it fell into my hands.
