Description
One of Orwell’s earlier novels this relates the strange story of a young unmarried woman who is seemingly content to keep house for her father, a village rector. After a dinner with a local bachelor she wakes eight days later in the Old Kent Road in London’s East End with amnesia and no idea how she came to be there. Being without funds she accompanies some vagrants to Kent for hop-picking and then returns to London where she ends up sleeping rough in Trafalgar Square.
First Sentence
AS THE ALARM CLOCK on the chest of drawers exploded like a horrid little bomb of bell metal, Dorothy, wrenched from the depths of some complex, troubling dream, awoke with a start and lay on her back looking into the darkness in extreme exhaustion.
