Wifedom: Mrs Orwell's Invisible Life by Anna Funder

4.0

A heartbreaking but highly illuminating book, an almost archeological excavation of an amazing woman who has been buried in history - by (male) biographers, her own self-erasure, and also by her husband, George Orwell. A painful but extremely important read. 

My only issues - the book's length and the last 50 pages that we could honestly just do without, to allow for more time to grief. Otherwise it would be (almost) 5 stars.
