What to expect
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 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.
