As the years roll by, he comes to feel like a hostage to his wife and children, regarding them as wardens and himself as a prisoner.One day, after winning some money from a bet at the races, George steals away from his family to visit the village where he grew up, to fish for carp in a pool he remembers from thirty years before. The pool, alas, is gone, the village has changed beyond recognition, and the principal event of his holiday is an accidental bombing by the RAF—the perfect ending to his failed escape."A work of rare vigor and imagination."—New York Herald-Tribune Book ReviewCountry/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: FictionTopic: Historical Fiction, Classic FictionAuthor: George OrwellRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
