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?
