Finished today #Julia" by Sandra Newman, a 2023 feminist retelling of #1984 by #GeorgeOrwell from her perspective, just as "James" had been a retelling of "Huckleberry Finn". Recommended recently by Cory Doctorow @pluralistic which is why I got it via Overdrive/Libby. Do read it! (The ending hat me shivering, thinking of postwar #Germany and the #Persilschein, but read it yourself!) @bookstodon @buchstodon #bookstodon #bookreviews
