Book Launch: Mrs. Orwell by Andrea Chalupa in Conversation with Nomiki Konst

About the Book

Eileen Blair, wife and partner of George Orwell, is brought out of her husband’s shadow in this riveting graphic novel, which follows the couples’ tireless campaign to expose difficult political truths through art.

The Roaring Twenties are over, fascism is on the rise across Europe, and the dream of a workers’ paradise is all but dead. But in the midst of these turbulent times, a love story unfolds—one that will forever reshape our political language and how we view the future.

Mrs. Orwell follows poet Eileen Blair and her husband, George Orwell, as they forge the professional and romantic partnership that will eventually bring us Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four.
