520    "A riveting work about the woman who sacrificed her future
       for one of the most famous writers of the twentieth 
       century and a probing look at what it means to be a wife 
       and a writer in the modern world. Looking for wonder and 
       some reprieve from the everyday, award-winning writer Anna
       Funder slips into the pages of her hero George Orwell. As 
       she watches him create his writing self, she tries to 
       remember her own. When she uncovers his forgotten wife, 
       it's a revelation. Eileen O'Shaughnessy's literary 
       brilliance shaped Orwell's work and her practical common 
       sense saved his life. But why-and how-was she written out 
       of the story? Using newly discovered letters from Eileen 
       to her best friend, Funder recreates the Orwells' marriage,
       through the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War in 
       London. As she rolls up the screen concealing Orwell's 
       private life she is led to question what it takes to be a 
       writer-and what it is to be a wife. Genre-bending and 
       utterly original, Wifedom is an ode to the unsung work of 
       women everywhere today, while offering a breathtakingly 
       intimate view of one of the most important literary 
       marriages of the twentieth century. It is a book that 
       speaks to our present moment as much as it illuminates the
       past"--|cProvided by publisher.
