In George Orwell’s A Clergyman's Daughter, Dorothy Hare’s life of intense religious devotion is shattered by a sudden bout of amnesia. Plunged into a world of destitution, seasonal labor, and exploitative schools, she must navigate the harsh realities of interwar England. Through Dorothy’s struggle to find meaning after losing her faith, Orwell delivers a gritty, satirical, and deeply moving exploration of poverty, social hypocrisy, and the quiet resilience of the human spirit.
