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.

When violent unrest threatens his post of ambassador to Constantinople, Orlando falls into a deep sleep and awakens as a woman.
