Set in the dystopian world of Airstrip One, the third most populous province of Oceania, the novel takes place in 1984. Julia Worthing, a mechanic at the Ministry of Truth, is a model citizen under the ideology of IngSoc and the rule of the Party and its leader, Big Brother. She adeptly navigates a world of constant surveillance, Thought Police, Newspeak, Doublethink, child spies, and the black markets of the prole neighborhoods. She is skilled at surviving, but her curiosity leads her to a colleague from the Records Department, Winston Smith, a mid-level worker of the Outer Party. As Julia delves deeper into his world, she realizes she is losing her grip and cannot safely navigate her own. Seventy-five years after Orwell completed his iconic novel, Sandra Newman has tackled the world of Big Brother in a truly convincing way, offering a dramatically different, feminist narrative that is true to and stands alongside the original. For millions of readers who have been brought up with Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, here is a provocative, vital, and utterly satisfying companion novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 620g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 242 x 163 x 38 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781783789153\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sandra Newman","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44663487922426,"sku":"9781783789153","price":13.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1697818364891_book.jpg?v=1697872265","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/julia-9781783789153","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
