Dorothy Hare’s simple small-town life is flipped on its head when she suffers an attack of amnesia and finds herself homeless and alone in this seminal novel by George Orwell.
A Clergyman’s Daughter tells the story of a seemingly weak-minded young woman who, after losing her memory in mysterious circumstances, ends up living on the streets of London. There, she finds herself befriending a group of vagrants and endures a life of poverty, isolation, and hunger that changes her forever.
First published in 1935, this social commentary is the second novel written by George Orwell, author of Animal Farm (1945) and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), and is now being reprinted in this new edition featuring the introductory essay ‘Why I Write’.

Eric Arthur Blair (1903–1950) was an English novelist, essay writer, critic and journalist born in Bengal, British India. Better known by his pen name, George Orwell, the writer’s most famous works include the novels Animal Farm, 1945, and Nineteen Eighty-Four, 1949. His work boldly expresses his opposition to totalitarianism, and he is well-known for weaving social and political commentary into his texts. His influence is still widely seen today, for example, the adjective ‘Orwellian’ is commonly used to describe an authoritarian idea or social practise.
