I was careful not to take this reading to the beach. That would have been entirely inappropriate. So, instead, I saved Orlando for the start of the school year, a little more attentive for my first Virginia Woolf. However, I had to be a bit sloppy at the end because I thought of reading a whole exercise in an impressive and original style, but I could not give it the concentration it deserved.
I drew to the back cover. This writer, who lived centuries, dies to come back to life as a woman but always with the human spirit. I liked the character writer, who was passionate about reading and writing.
It's a timeless, fantastic, utterly offbeat tale that deserves much more focus than I had to give it, and I struggled to finish it correctly.
Even though I liked the author's intrusion to guide the reader, setting the scene and the character.

Virginia Woolf, Orlando
