A review by gadda023gmailcom
England Your England by George Orwell
5.0
This book spoke to me so much.
Having left the UK about 2.5 years ago I began to realise how English I was compared to what I previously thought, but once I started to compare myself against Australians and New Zealanders I started to see how English I really was. Reading this book gave me a new appreciation of my Englishness and what it means to be English.
He manages to capture the hypocrisy of English life that’s just accepted in such a way as to be confusing for many foreigners.
