In her most exuberant, most fanciful novel, Woolf has created a character liberated from the restraints of time and sex. Born in the Elizabethan Age to wealth and position, Orlando is a young nobleman at the beginning of the story-and a modern woman three centuries later.
I found it pleasant to read, and quite refreshing.
The "turn" of centuries, when all of a sudden systemic change occurs (including climate changes) I found a special treat.
Weirdly, I thought this book would be gayer. It took a really really long time to get to the exciting part: the gender change. I'm trying to read all of Woolf's works, and I am glad I read this one. Still... I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be.
