We do get some insight beyond London as well, which was a particularly welcome addition.

…she can see through almost every plot. It becomes a bit Mary Sue-ish. OTOH, Winston is so naive in 1984 that she almost has to be a Mary Sue. My concerns about this were alleviated toward the end of the book.

In any case, Julia’s story is compelling and cohesive and I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Newman did a wonderful job of showing the societal impacts that would be particular to women in the original, without being as heavy-handed as the original.
