Orlando by Virginia Woolf
Orlando tells the tale of an extraordinary individual who lives through history first as a man, then as a woman. At its heart is the figure of Woolf's friend and lover, Vita Sackville-West, and Knole, the historic home of the Sackvilles. Orlando mocks the conventions of biography and history and wryly examines sexual double standards.
If you have always wanted to read Woolf but feel intimidated, Orlando is a good place to startAnd you can't go wrong with this new Oxford edition. * Shiny New Books, Stefanie Hollmichel *
