A review by smuds2
Orlando by Virginia Woolf
This book seemed a lot harder to digest than Ms. Dalloway -- not to say it's worse or anything -- but I don't think I could possibly say anything helpful about it after just one read.
There are some things I noticed that on my next read I will focus on -- how environment and external conditions shape people (i.e. clothes you wear, the century you're in, the the people you are around). Butterflies. Materialism. Obviously gender and presentation. Water and humidity. The impossibility of knowing the full scope of others experiences (i.e. Orlando said she never understood sasha until she was a woman).
