I picked this book up because I just finished To The Lighthouse (TTL) last week and loved it SO much that I decided im gonna read all of Woolfs notable works immediately. Ill still read her other books but not with that urgency anymore.
Orlando was clearly for its time very progressive and there are pieces of the book that are just poetic but ITS SUCH A BORE. TTL is book that happens mostly in the characters inner minds but still is packed with so much substance and characters you can relate to. This book has a vague plot too, though especially towards the end, it just meanders in circles with no meaning. At the end, I didn't care for Orlando as a person either, she just seemed like part of the privileged English society that try as much I might, I cannot relate.
