Orlando (French language, 2018) 5 stars

I can't believe I waited so long to read this.

5 stars

I'm age 49 and I'm going back and reading (and re-reading) some of the classics. I'd not read Orlando before and I have no idea what took me this long. What a story! Virginia Woolf's reputation for being a brilliant, mould-shattering feminist writer and thinker is absolutely well-deserved and I'm in awe that this book was written so long ago but still have such poignancy and relevance to our understanding of the world, gender & sexuality, and the illusion of time.
