Orlanda

More about the book

Exploring themes of androgyny and identity, the story follows Aline, a frustrated college lecturer who magically transforms into Lucien, a more charismatic version of herself. This transformation leads to a chaotic journey as Aline-Lucien, now named Orlanda, navigates the complexities of self-attraction and the reactions of those around her. The narrative cleverly intertwines humor and fantasy, challenging traditional notions of gender and relationships. Jacqueline Harpman's imaginative storytelling invites readers to reflect on the fluidity of identity.
