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.

Crazy, but maybe slighlty less than the real-life model

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.

Review of 'Orlando' on 'Goodreads'

I really enjoyed both the language and the ideas. I'll have to re-read this to get a better sense for how it fits together.
