FROM THE AUTHOR OF TIKTOK SENSATION I WHO HAVE NEVER KNOWN MEN There's a voice in Aline's head: a voice that wants out. Brash and boisterous, 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. 'A magical novel. . .Funny, subtle, poignant.' - Nadine Sautel
