Orlando

Who said biography had to be based on fact?

In Virginia Woolf’s semi-biographical novel, join protagonist Orlando as he travels through time and experiences key moments in British history. Born into nobility, young Orlando earns the affection of the queen through his service as an Elizabethan court page. Orlando matures and falls in love with a Russian princess, but emerges from the Great Frost of 1608 only to have his heart broken. When violent unrest threatens his post of ambassador to Constantinople, Orlando falls into a deep sleep and awakens as a woman.

For anyone interested in the field of women’s & gender studies, Orlando is an important work of modernist queer fiction. In fact, the BBC named this book among the 100 most influential novels for its power to break the mold. InAudio is thrilled to release this audiobook edition as fans also await a theatre adaptation, set to open at the historic Garrick Theatre in December 2022.

Come along for this epic adventure and dare to see the world a bit differently.
