Orlando: A Biography

What the book says...

A biographical fantasy, inspired by the author's friend, Vita Sackville-West, which traces the history of the youthful, beautiful and aristocratic Orlando through four centuries in both male and female manifestations. Orlando has always been an outsider...His longing for passion, adventure and fulfilment takes him out of his own time. Chasing a dream through the centuries, he bounds from Elizabethan England amd imperial Turkey to the modern world. Will he find happiness with the exotic Russian Princess Sasha? Or is the dashing explorer Shelmerdine the ideal man? And what form will Orlando take on the journey - a nobleman, traveller, writer? Man or...woman?

What the critics say...
