'THE '90S GENDER SWAP NOVEL YOU NEED TO READ NOW' ( NEW YORK TIMES) 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 thirty-five 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. --- READER REVIEWS -
