I’m convinced that Virginia Woolf was actually a time traveler. How else could she have described the different periods of Orlando’s life in such vivid detail?
This book is one of the best representations of what it would actually be like to live for centuries while the world carries on changing around you. It’s no wonder that Orlando describes themselves as “nature’s bride.” Nature itself is the only loyal, consistent presence across all of their lives. Centuries pass but the oak tree still stands.
