Ian M. Pyatt Great review. This was my second Orwell book and enjoyed it immensely

Magdelanye Thank you for this fascinating review. I took this with me on my early travels but lost it before I had a chance to read.
I think homelessness is a capitalist, urban phenomenon. Small villages always had a place for everyone

Yes, I can see why! There were so many little details I would have loved to include, but space defeated me. Would you believe this review (and read) dates from almost 2 years ago, but I have literally only just managed to finish it now.

And thank you so much, Kathleen 😊
