Orlando has always been an outsider . . . His longing for passion,
adventure and fulfilment takes him out of his own time. Chasing a dream
through the centuries, he bounds from Elizabethan England and imperial
Turkey to the modern world. Will he find happiness with the exotic Russian
Princess Sasha? Or is the dashing explorer Shelmerdine the ideal man? And
what form will Orlando take on the journey - a nobleman, traveller, writer?
Man or . . . woman?
