George Orwell left post-war London for Barnhill, a remote farmhouse on the Isle of Jura, to write what became Nineteen Eighty-Four. He was driven by a passionate desire to undermine the enemies of democracy and make plain the dangers of dictatorship, surveillance, doublethink, and censorship.
In his damp bedroom overlooking the garden he curated and the sea beyond, he invented Big Brother, Thought Police, Newspeak, and Room 101 – and created a masterpiece.
Barnhill tells the dramatic story of this crucial period of Orwells life. Deeply researched, it reveals the private man behind the celebrated public figure – his turbulent love life, his devotion to his baby son, and his declining health as he struggled to deliver his dystopian warning to the world.
