THE SISTERHOOD

Bradley, katherine
Frightening and timely, Bradleys The Sisterhood is the book everyone should read this year. If you thought it ended with Orwell, think again . . .'' CHRISTINA DALCHERVox meets The Handmaids Tale in this feminist retelling of 1984 In Oceania, whoever you are, Big Brother is always watching you and trust is a luxury that no one has. Julia is the seemingly perfect example of what women in Oceania should be: dutiful, useful, subservient, meek. But Julia hides a secret. A secret that would lead to her death if it is discovered. For Julia is part of the underground movement called The Sisterhood, whose main goal is to find members of The Brotherhood, the anti-Party vigilante group, and help them to overthrow Big Brother. Only then can everyone be truly free. When Julia thinks shes found a potential member of The Brotherhood, it seems like their goal might finally be in their grasp. But as she gets closer to Winston Smith, Julias past starts to catch up with her and we soon realise that she has many more secrets than wed first imagined and that overthrowing Big Brother might cost her everything but if you have nothing left to lose then you dont mind playing the game . . . This is a story about love, about family, about being a woman, a mother, a sister, a friend and ultimately about what you would sacrifice for the greater good. ''A dazzling retelling of the classic dystopian novel, which raises profound questions about how society works, and whether or not woman have political agency. I found it memorable, deeply moving, and at times, terrifying'' KATE RHODES ''Katherine Bradley has delivered a worthy counterpart to George Orwell''s 1984 in this chilling, taut book. It''s as claustrophobic as it needs to be - particularly frightening as one looks around and sees that we are voluntarily moving towards Orwell''s nightmare. It is nothing short of a triumph'' MARA TIMON In this highly original take on Orwells 1984 the Big Brother of all dystopian classics Bradley weaves a complex and engaging plot around the idea of a female resistance to oppressive overlords. Oppressive and creepy, but with real heart A. K. TURNER
