This book was one of the most interesting classics I have ever read.
It deals with so many interesting topics, the most prevalent being gender. Orlando is born as a boy and we follow his life until one night when his body changes and she wakes up as a woman. From then one we get a very interesting perspective on gender and gender performance from a perspective that knows what it is like to be a man and also now knows the struggles of women.

This book is about writing, finding oneself, dealing with societal expectations and pressures, going after ones passions and acceptance. It is a very nuanced book which I greatly enjoyed. Time passes quite funnily as well. Though Orlando is 36 in the end of the novel the narrative starts in the Elizabethan age and ends in the 20th century.

As progressive this book is and how many interesting thoughts about gender and society are presented, there are still some problematic parts. The n* word is used and in the beginning of the book there is a very gruesome scene which is offensive and might me very hard to read for certain people.
