Descrizione
En 1928, Virginia Woolf nous présente un héros dont la vie s’étend du milieu du XVIe siècle jusqu’à nos jours et qui change de sexe à mi-parcours. Sa vie de poète commence à l’époque élisabéthaine, passe par Constantinople où il est ambassadeur. Il change de sexe au XVIIIe siècle et devient bohémienne, s’habitue à sa condition de femme et traverse l’époque victorienne, puis atterrit dans les années vingt, où, redevenu écrivain, Orlando est à la recherche du sens du temps.

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.
