George Orwell’s 1948 classic dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four now has a companion volume, one which retells events from a different point of view, with a feminist slant.
The work of Sandra Newman, Julia centres on a woman we’ve previously only seen from the perspective of Orwell’s protagonist, showing us her view of life under Ingsoc and the watchful eye of Big Brother – in the process filling in her background, her character, and her motivation for entering into a doomed clandestine relationship with Winston Smith.
After being published in hardback last year, Julia is now available in paperback. Thanks to Granta Books, we have 10 copies to give away. To put your name in the hat for the chance to win one, simply answer the question below.
