TiredLibrarian Intriguing premise! 4d
Chittavrtti 50 pages in and it‘s very good. Truly creepy in its acceptance of authoritarian dictatorship. 4d

Man, George Orwell does not come off well in this book!
An account of the first wife of George Orwell, the celebrated author of 1984 and Animal Farm, shining a light on his misogyny. The book however transcends beyond just the life of the wife, it brings into light the inherent patriarchy prevalent in our society since times immemorial, with a special focus of male misogynistic authors and their privilege.

A retelling of the original 1984 told from Julia‘s POV. I wish I would have reread the original before getting into this one just to see the character‘s lives intertwining as the story goes along. Definitely was similar to 1984 in its mind twisting and often conflicting stories with the characters. Although I‘m happy to have read it, it certainly wasn‘t a favorite as the story ran in circles and I find it to not need to be almost 400 pages long.

"Tragedy, he perceived, belonged to the ancient time, to a time when there was still privacy, love, and friendship, and when the members of a family stood by one another without needing to know the reason."
-George Orwell, "1984"

I really liked the black and white drawings of this graphic novel, it definitely helped to bring across the mood of the novel. I am not sure if I will read the original because the dystopy seems rather depressing. I am glad I choose to check out the graphic novels first.

What a scary thought of the history being revised every now and then. Things that have been your past today, won‘t be tomorrow‘s past.

Sometimes just by thinking about it I magic books into Little Free Libraries. That was the case with the tagged book yesterday which I was pleased to discover on my way to two hours of ballet last night in the rain.
