Orlanda

A Novel

By: Jacqueline Harpman, Ros Schwartz - translator

Narrated by: Ana Clements

THE NEXT SENSATION FROM THE AUTHOR OF I WHO HAVE NEVER KNOWN MEN

There's a voice in Aline's head: a voice that wants out.

Brash, boisterous and sexually adventurous, this voice seems to be the antithesis of Aline, a prim literature professor for whom each day promises to be as quiet and conventional as the last.

That is until, after 35 years of imprisonment, her alter ego breaks free.

Taking on a life of his own, Orlanda—Aline's second self—slips into the taut, rugged body of a young man. As Aline continues unaware, Orlanda follows, dragging gleeful chaos in his wake, vowing to leave both their existences forever altered.

A bewitching fable, an androgynous dream, Orlanda is one woman's reckoning with all the hidden sides of her soul.
