A Clergyman's Daughter

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England, the story follows Dorothy Hare, the clergyman's daughter, as she navigates a tumultuous journey of self-discovery. Abruptly thrust into a world of uncertainty after losing her memory, she experiences life as a vagrant and encounters various societal challenges. The novel explores themes of loss and return, reflecting Orwell's own life experiences. With a nod to modernist influences, it offers a poignant commentary on class and identity, making it a unique yet underappreciated work in Orwell's oeuvre.
