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, 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.
