A radical novel on androgyny and double selves, from the author of BookTok sensation I Who Have Never Known Men.

'THE '90S GENDER SWAP NOVEL YOU NEED TO READ NOW' (NEW YORK TIMES), 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.
