This book by Faith McNulty tells the harrowing story of Francine Hughes, who suffered thirteen years of physical, emotional, and psychological abuse at the hands of her husband, Mickey Hughes. The narrative details Francine's life, from her marriage to the escalating abuse, and her eventual decision to set fire to her husband's bed while he was asleep, resulting in his death. The book exposes the failures of the legal and social systems in protecting victims of domestic violence and highlights the tragic consequences of such abuse. It also follows Francine's trial and her subsequent acquittal by reason of temporary insanity, shedding light on the broader societal issue of domestic violence[2][3][4].
Published in 1949, '1984' is a cautionary tale by George Orwell that explores the dangers of totalitarianism.

Winston works at the Ministry of Truth, where he rewrites historical records to conform to the Party's ever-changing narrative. He begins an illicit love affair with Julia and starts to rebel against the Party, but they are eventually caught and subjected to brutal torture and indoctrination. The novel highlights themes of government surveillance, manipulation of language and history, and the suppression of individual freedom and independent thought.
