Love unrequited. Guests uninvited.

1948: George Orwell struggles to complete Nineteen Eighty Four. Suffering from ill health, Orwell is holed up with a shotgun on the isolated Scottish island he has made his home. He’s attempting to finish his final novel.

With literary-circle bombshell Sonia Brownell for company, he’s desperately hoping for a last chance at happiness. But George is no womaniser and is sure to make a hash of things, particularly after his childhood friend and notorious lecher Cyril Connelly turns up . . .

Can he survive his friends, both real and imaginary, and finish Nineteen Eighty Four before death comes knocking?

“Year of the Rat brims with dialogue and characters that take on a fully developed life of their own.” – The Independent

“Smiles . . . shows us why we should all share his passion for the man known as the conscience of his generation.” – The Listener
