Anna Funder explores the life of George Orwell through the lens of his first wife, Eileen O'Shaughnessy. She discovers how Eileen's intelligence and practical skills influenced Orwell's work and supported him during challenging times, including the Spanish Civil War and World War II. Using newly uncovered letters, Funder reconstructs their marriage and highlights Eileen's significant yet overlooked role in Orwell's life and writing. This book challenges the narrative that has often excluded women's contributions from history.
