Fantasy, love and an exuberant celebration of English life and literature, Orlando is a uniquely entertaining story. Originally conceived by Virginia Woolf as a playful tribute to the family of her friend and lover, Vita Sackville-West, Orlando's central character, a fictional embodiment of Sackville-West, changes sex from a man to a woman and lives throughout the centuries, whilst meeting historical figures of English literature.

Okay, this was a stuff up. Do not listen to Virginia Woolfe on Audible (duh). Or rather, if you're someone like me who struggles to lie down and listen to intensely introspective thoughts for 9 hours without distraction, don't. My brother made the point that perhaps her writing does not translate as well to audio books: he is right. This one does not pass the test. And what's worse, I should have stopped, upgraded to kindle, returned it, moved on with my life.
It only appeared difficult to get into in this format, the story is very accessible when you pay close attention, the writing is contemplative and wry. The main character covers both genders and 300ish years, and there are enormous changes in society for one person to experience, the greatest being the role of women.
