Publisher Granta said that Julia understands the world of Oceania “far better than Winston and is essentially happy with her life”.

“She has known no other world and, until she meets Winston, never imagined one. She’s opportunistic, believing in nothing and caring not at all about politics. She routinely breaks the rules but also collaborates with the regime whenever necessary. She’s an ideal citizen of Oceania,” said Granta.

So, in other words, "Sure, you may think 1984 is a dystopian nightmare, but look at this woman here, she's perfectly content to just be a cog in the machine and do what she's told. Be like her!"

Total lack of self awareness. What could be more Orwellian than rewriting history.

LITERALLY PROVING THE POINT BEHIND IT

Title credit.
More from the Guardian article:

In Julia by Sandra Newman, the incidents of Nineteen Eighty-Four are seen through the woman’s eyes.
Orwell’s estate said it had been “looking for some time” for an author to tell the story of Smith’s lover, and that Newman, who has previously been longlisted for the Women’s prize and shortlisted for the Guardian first book award, “proved to be the perfect fit”.
Julia will be published after Granta releases Newman’s new novel The Men – in which every single person with a Y chromosome vanishes from the world – next June.
