Wifedom

by Anna Funder

Venture into the unseen narrative of Eileen O'Shaughnessy, the woman behind literary giant George Orwell. 'Wifedom' by Anna Funder presents an enthralling reexamination of Orwell's marriage through the lens of his overshadowed wife Eileen, whose intellect and pragmatism profoundly influenced his work and survival. Funder, inspired by Orwell, embarks on a journey of discovery, threading together newly unearthed letters from Eileen, to weave a story that encapsulates both the Spanish Civil War and World War II in London. Unfolding into a profound contemplation on the dual roles of being a writer and a wife, this genre-defying biography is an homage to the oft-unrecognized contributions of women, casting light on the invisibility enforced upon them throughout history and continuing into present times.
