Anna Funder books

Wifedom by Anna Funder

The book of the moment. No matter what genre you typically reach for, you cannot pass up Wifedom. A masterful, genre-bending work, this counterfiction turns the spotlight on George Orwell’s wife, Eileen. Referring to newly-discovered letters from Eileen to her best friend, Funder recreates Orwell’s marriage, bringing this too-often overlooked woman to life on the page.

All That I Am by Anna Funder

Based on real people and events, All That I Am follows a group of friends and lovers who become instant outlaws when Hitler comes to power in 1933. Fleeing to England to continue their work in secret, they soon discover that it is not the haven they had hoped it would be.

Stasiland by Anna Funder

This non-fiction book reads like a thriller. In Stasiland, Anna Funder tells the true stories of people who lived in East Germany – and what their lives were really like behind the Berlin Wall. Calling to question authority, surveillance and the way that history has a knack for re-writing itself, the book is a must-read – whether you consider yourself a history buff or not.
