Exploring themes of identity and gender fluidity, this semi-biographical novel follows the life of Orlando, who experiences centuries of existence while changing gender. Drawing inspiration from Virginia Woolf's lover, Vita Sackville-West, the narrative challenges traditional notions of time and self. Celebrated for its stylistic innovation, it holds a significant place in women's literature and gender studies. The story was later adapted into a film featuring Tilda Swinton, further cementing its cultural impact.
