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

5.0

Maybe the best and most accurate depiction of poverty in the north of England. As always, Orwell's descriptions are unrivalled, but, behind the glorioous prose is the staggering and at times shocking conditions in which these people survive. Reading it today in 2015 one knows that on the surface things have changed, but, then one reflects, by how much?
