Anna Funder has written another brilliant human portrait. - Claire Tomalin A BLAZING, GENRE-BENDING MASTERPIECE FROM ONE OF THE MOST INVENTIVE WRITERS OF OUR TIMELooking 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 . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompelling 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimply, 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.
