Some interesting information about Sonia Orwell's earlier years but later parts are hagiographical
Some interesting information about Sonia Orwell, especially up to the 1940s, but the later parts are somewhat hagiographical reflecting the author's deep friendship with her subject and do not engage in any depth with criticisms of her made with others. As a polemic, maybe it is valid to tell the other side of the story from the criticisms and restore a balance, but since the criticisms are not engaged with properly and it appears to me that there's a lot that is being glossed over or is not known, the coverage of the later years is rather akin to the neighbours of an arrested criminal saying that he was always very polite when they passed him in the street, and always happy to lend a cup of sugar - ultiumately, not very meaningful.
