Book Synopsis

Inspired by the life of Woolf''s lover, Vita Sackville-West, Orlando is the stunning tale of a 300-year-old poet and nobleman who never ages.

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 the 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.
