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?Written for the charismatic, bisexual writer Vita Sackville-West, Orlando is one of Woolf?s most popular and accessible novels, a playful mock biography of a chameleon-like historical figure that is both a wry commentary on gender and, in Woolf?s own words, a 'writer?s holiday' that delights in its ambiguity and capriciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55148032196983,"sku":"9780143138211","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9780143138211.jpg?v=1745336735","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.co.uk\/products\/9780143138211","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
