It goes without saying that this book is pure mastery of the English language, and challenges the binary society we as a society are forced to abide by. The complexity of Orlando’s character in and amongst the secondary characters and the world that surrounds them is pure literary genius, and this will be a favourite of mine for years and years to come, I’m certain.

really enjoyed this! fun read after

orlando woke up as a woman

and there were some quotes that i feel like we’re still repeating to transphobes to this day which made me want to scream. however the casual racism at times was pretty shocking, even though i should’ve expected it. 

favorite quote:
“so long had he been secluded, writing and reading, that he had half forgotten the amenities of nature, which in June can be great”
