Unfortunately, my edition was a misprint, so my experience was hindered by missing pages. Overall, I find Woolf’s writing enjoyable, and the character of Orlando with all their loves and ambitions very interesting. It’s hard to believe this book was written in 1928. I watched a documentary about Woolf and they said that this book was really one long love letter to her lesbian lover Vita Sackville, and that’s how I’d like to remember it.
