Inspired by the life of Woolf's lover, Vita Sackville-West, Orlando is the stunning tale of a 300-year-old poet.
Against
the backdrop of some of the most important moments of history, the
titular character begins his life as a rowdy nobleman who delights in
enjoying his privileges his status affords him. When he wakes one
morning to discover that he is now a woman, he retains his joie de
vivre.
A wildly entertaining commentary on gender and history,
this book acts as a magic mirror revealing how life and art constantly
change but forever remain the same.
