Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'Simply, a masterpiece. Here, Anna Funder not only re-makes the art of biography, she resurrects a woman in full. And this in a narrative that grips the reader and unfolds through some of the most consequential moments - historical and cultural - of the twentieth century.' GERALDINE BROOKS Theres exhilaration in reading every brilliant word. CHLOE HOOPER Looking for wonder and some reprieve from the everyday, Anna Funder slips into the pages of her hero George Orwell. As she watches him create his writing self, she tries to remember her own When she uncovers his forgotten wife, its a revelation. Eileen OShaughnessys literary brilliance shaped Orwells work and her practical nous saved his life. But why and how was she written out of the story? Using newly discovered letters from Eileen to her best friend, Funder recreates the Orwells marriage, through the Spanish Civil War and WW II in London. As she rolls up the screen concealing Orwells private life she is led to question what it takes to be a writer and what it is to be a wife. Compelling and utterly original, Wifedom speaks to the unsung work of women everywhere today, while offering a breathtakingly intimate view of one of the most important literary marriages of the 20th century. It is a book that speaks to our present moment as much as it illuminates the past. _So, she will live writing the letters she did six to her best friend, and three to her husband. I know where she was when she wrote them. I know that the dishes were frozen in the sink, that she was bleeding, that he was in bed with another woman and she knew it. I supply only what a film director would, directing an actor on set the wiping of spectacles, the ash on the carpet, a cat pouring itself off her lap._ A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2023 THE FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOKS OF 2023 - LITERARY NON-FICTION Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
