Orlando by Virginia Woolf (336 pages). A classic in fictional American literature spanning over three centuries tells the story of Orlando as he transitions over the centuries, starting as a young nobleman in Elizabeth’s England, and ends his (now her) tale in 1928 as a wife and mother at the tail end of the women’s suffrage movement. A heartfelt tale looking at the roles of gender through the centuries, and brilliant use of transitioning as being both literal and metaphorical in its analysis of gender throughout history.&nbsp;
