WITH INTRODUCTIONS BY PETER ACKROYD AND MARGARET REYNOLDS
As his tale begins, Orlando is a passionate young nobleman whose days are spent in rowdy revelry, filled with the colourful delights of Queen Elizabeth's court. By the close, he will have transformed into a modern, thirty-six-year-old woman and three centuries will have passed. Orlando will not only witness the making of history from its edge, but will find that his unique position as a woman who knows what it is to be a man will give him insight into matters of the heart.

This was quite possibly one of the most thought-provoking and interesting books I've ever read. I will admit it took me a little while to get into it. I initially struggled with the biographical style Woolf employed and had to put the book down fir a good while, hence the docked star. However once i was back into it, i finished it in a day. I do have to celebrate this book mostly due to how happy this book made me whilst reading it. Its joyful and romantic description of Orlando's world in turn gave me a far greater appreciation of my own surroundings and experiences, which i shall be forever grateful for. Overall a very good book, just a bit challenging to jump straight into.
