Happy Valentine’s Day to the Gaslit Nation family. While the world distracts itself with candy-coated romance, we know the most consequential stories are often the most complicated.
If you’re in the mood for a love story, specifically, a toxic one that changed the course of history, I invite you to meet Eileen O’Shaughnessy in my graphic novel, Mrs. Orwell. Eileen was the brilliant, overlooked force who helped fuel the creation of her husband’s most enduring works. Her life with Eric Blair (aka George Orwell) was a whirlwind of intellect, sacrifice, and revolutionary dysfunction.
