Reviews

Orlando has sometimes been dismissed as a romp. As a less important book than Mrs Dalloway or To the Lighthouse. This is to misread it. It was far ahead of its time in terms of gender politics and gender progress -- Jeanette Winterson A brilliant book that teaches you so much about identity and love – all these fundamental questions that we ask ourselves -- Emma Corrin I read this book and believed it was a hallucinogenic, interactive biography of my own life and future -- Tilda Swinton
