Orlando by Virginia Woolf

challenging funny hopeful inspiring reflective slow-paced

5.0

It's hard for me to put into words what I liked about this book. I totally understand why some people dislike it, I see lot of its flaws too and still I've rated it 5 stars. It touched me in a very personal way. I know I'm very biased partly because I'm queer myself. I think that the queer element adds a lot to this book, I can't deny I am always thrilled when reading a queer classic! There was something else in Orlando that spoke to me deeply. Maybe it was the poetic language. Maybe the polemics on what being an artist means. Maybe the way life flowed so seamlessly like a river, as if life itself is the main character. It has so many layers! A definite re-read for me
