I read this February 2017 it was the Regency book club's choice for March.
I have read this twice before and of course, seen the film.
Orwell's famous distopian novel of what britain would be like in the future. We decided to read this book as it has become very popular again after Brexit and the election of Donald Trump.
Some parts resonated with me about life in today's world, the part where Winston is writing about the films of the refugees in a boat being bombed, the drinking of gin to keep the masses in check, the constant surveillance.
A splendid book, always worth a re read.
