About this product
Product Information
A real-life fairy tale with a brilliant, larger-than-life heroine. Sonia Orwell was a woman of great beauty, power and presence. She married George Orwell three months before he died, becoming his sole heir and literary executor. Since then shehas been blamed for exploiting his name and squandering his fortune, but Hilary Spurling argues that this is a travesty of the truth based on misconception and ignorance. Aiming to set the record straight, she shows that Sonia Orwell was in fact a heroic woman who devoted much of her life to righting wrongs.

I think this item (which was one of four bought at the same time as part of a special offer) had to be re-despatched. I told them it didn't arrive with the other books so they made arrangements to get it to me ASAP. They said it would be despatched within 48 hours and it was despatched within 24. I had it on my doorstep in 3 days, in very good condition as described. Very happy with the price and the service, highly recommended seller. Very professional.
