I did not know what this was about at all and sometimes that workes in my favour and I’m positively surprised, but this time… I did not care for the theme/story so much.
 

Dorothy the main character though is surprisingly relatable and three dimensional, especially for a woman written by a man in this age. Orwells writing style is sharp and on the point and sometimes there are really unique and beautiful descriptions. Also it’s so easy to read and that’s something refreshingly different for a classic. 

read this if you like to read about: 

loosing faith in God, struggeling to find purpose and not finding it, private school system/hoax in the 30’s, hunger and poverty…. (not depressing at all)
