"Orlando" is a semi-autobiographical satirical novel based on the biography of Virginia's friend English writer and journalist Vita Sackville-West and is considered one of Wolfe's most light works. It tells the story of a person named Orlando. The plot covers three hundred fifty years, starting with the reign of Elizabeth I and ending at the beginning of the twentieth century. The first half of this period Orlando lives as a man and the second as a woman.
