Interesting story / wife narrator irritating voice

As with all of George Orwell’s books, this is another interesting story.

Only let down was the narrator for Eillen (George’s wife) - such an irritating voice and boxed up standard of English speech.

A lot of English women put on that way of speaking when in public abroad, but that is not the way English women speak among their friends and family - specially with their partners. The speech tries to sell an idea of purety and sensibility of English women, which in reality does not exist.

England went to war just to access heroin (Opium War). These modern times see England as the biggest consumer of cocaine and one of the worst world rates of alcoholism among women. Still, they keep on selling “the accent” as a way to disguise their true unpleasant and monolingual selves.
