A brutally depressing love story set in the last days of the British Empire.

Burmese Days by George Orwell

Do you want to get everything you ever wanted &amp; live your best life? Then you're going to have to read hard, wide &amp; free. 
Together, let's learn how to read &amp; write by analysing the best works ever written, and then some. 
How do writers do it - keep readers turning the page until they finish the book or throw it across the room? 
Each episode looks at one book, its first line and a standout section where there's a lesson to be learned about writing.
Dissecting writers' language, genre and how their work fits into a greater context can help us understand other people and ourselves. x
