JULIA
A PEOPLE Magazine Must-Read Book for Fall 2023 An Esquire Best Book of Fall 2023 A Guardian Biggest New Book of 2023 A LitHub Most Anticipated Book of 2023 An imaginative, feminist, and brilliantly relevant-to-today retelling of Orwell's 1984, from the point of view of Winston Smith's lover, Julia, by critically acclaimed novelist Sandra Newman. Julia Worthing is a mechanic, working in the Fiction Department at the Ministry of Truth. It's 1984, and Britain (now called Airstrip One) has long been absorbed into the larger trans-Atlantic nation of Oceania. Oceania has been at war for as long as anyone can remember, and is ruled by an ultra-totalitarian Party, whose leader is a quasi-mythical figure called Big Brother. In short, everything about this world is as it is in Orwell's 1984. All her life, Julia has known only Oceania, and, until she meets Winston Smith, she has never imagined anything else. She is an ideal citizen: cheerfully cynical, always ready with a bribe, piously

Männen
Vackert och tankeväckande om frihetens prisDet är en vanlig augustikväll och Jane är ute och campar med sin make och femårige son. När hon vaknar på morgonen är hon ensam i tältet. Något mycket märkligt har hänt, alla med en Y-kromosom har försvunnit spårlöst från jordens yta.Samtidigt som kvinnor världen över brottas med sorg och saknad, måste de nu gå samman för att försöka förhindra att samhället kollapsar. Men mystiska videoklipp börjar snart spridas på nätet, med oroväckande ledtrådar om vad som egentligen har hänt. Kanske finns det ett sätt att få alla män att komma tillbaka - men till vilket pris? Männen är en vacker, förkrossande och djupt rörande roman om feministiska utopier och omöjliga uppoffringar."Det är för konstigt och samtidigt kittlar den så mycket! /.../ Det är inte så likt annat man läser så jag tänker: Kul, testa!" Titti Schultz, Svt Go'kväll"Romanen väcker intressanta frågor: Vad är vi villiga att offra för att rädda världen? Och vice versa: vilket pris är vi beredda att betala för att ännu en tid få behålla det vi känner till, det vi är vana vid och de vi älskar?" Dagens Nyheter"Ett bländande exempel på tankeväckande skönlitteratur" - Observer Sandra Newman är en amerikansk författare bosatt i New York.

Julia
a fascinating reflection on totalitarianism as refracted through Orwell's times and our own The Guardian London, chief city of Airstrip One, the third most populous province of Oceania. It's 1984 and Julia Worthing works as a mechanic fixing the novel-writing machines in the Fiction Department at the Ministry of Truth. Under the ideology of IngSoc and the rule of the Party and its leader Big Brother, Julia is a model citizen - cheerfully cynical, believing in nothing and caring not at all about politics. She knows how to survive in a world of constant surveillance, Thought Police, Newspeak, Doublethink, child spies and the black markets of the prole neighbourhoods. She's very good at staying alive. But Julia becomes intrigued by a colleague from the Records Department - a mid-level worker of the Outer Party called Winston Smith, she comes to realise that she's losing her grip and can no longer safely navigate her world. Seventy-five years after Orwell finished writing his iconic novel, Sandra Newman has tackled the world of Big Brother in a truly convincing way, offering a dramatically different, feminist narrative that is true to and stands alongside the original. For the millions of readers who have been brought up with Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, here, finally, is a provocative, vital and utterly satisfying companion novel.

Sandra, Ljudbok
Sisällissota pyyhkäisee kotipihaan ja murskaa tulevaisuuden.Sandra ja Janne ovat pystyttäneet torpan Ylä-Väärin kulmalle, ja lapsiakin on siunaantunut. Kesken työteliään elämän se tulee, sota, ja Janne tempaistaan kaartiin. Sandra jää yksin huolehtimaan kaikesta, ja huomaa miten suhtautuminen häneen muuttuu. Ylpeys on nieltävä, jos leivän syrjässä aikoo pysyä. Mutta paljon pahempaa on edessä. Kalmanhajuinen kevät avautuu toisin Sandran tyttärentyttärelle, joka lähes sata vuotta myöhemmin tutkii vanhoja muistiinpanoja. Hän on oppinut, että vaikeneminen on kultaa eikä kipeistä asioista puhuta. Kaikki mennyt on äkkiä läsnä, järkyttävänä. Miksi ihmismieli pehmenee anteeksiantoon niin hitaasti?
