I am reading the book "Julia" by Sandra Newman
"Julia is a bold feminist retelling of Nineteen Eighty-Four that goes beyond Winston Smith's story to finally reveal what life in Oceania was like for women."
(In het Nederlands bij de "De Bezige Bij" verschenen en vertaald door Frank Lekens en Rob Kuitenbrouwer)

@simoncampbell The original is a classic. I still need to read this one.
Has anyone read this one? I loved Orwell's classic and will have to bump this up on my tbr list.
“Newman hasn’t proved herself a worthy successor to Orwell; she’s outclassed him, both in knowledge of human nature and in character development. Julia should be the new required text on those high-school curricula, a stunning look into what happens when a person of strength faces the worst in humanity, as well as a perfect specimen of derivative art that, in standing on another’s shoulders, can reach a higher plane.” — Los Angeles Times
