Orlando invites readers to explore a dazzling narrative that spans over three centuries and challenges every convention of identity and time. As the protagonist transforms from a young Elizabethan nobleman into a woman navigating the modern world, Woolf deftly delves into the fluidity of gender, the nature of self, and the evolution of society. Inspired by her muse Vita Sackville-West, Orlando remains a bold and playful celebration of transformation, creativity, and the enduring power of living beyond the limits imposed by time or tradition.
