A series of interconnected autobiographical vignettes of Orwell's life among the working class and homeless of Paris and London. The day to day troubles of walking from shelter to shelter or selling off clothes to buy food is at times humorous, disturbing and certainly thought provoking. Despite the gloomy subject matter, this was a very enjoyable read full of great chracters and Orwell's unique matery of language and style. Highly recommend.
