Lolly Willowes

ebook
1 of 1 copy available
THE WITCHY FEMINIST CLASSIC: The “beautifully written . . . extraordinary” story of an English spinster who rejects the life society has given her—and becomes a witch instead (Helen McDonald, New York Times Book Review).
 
“Witty, eerie, tender.” —John Updike
 
In Lolly Willowes, Sylvia Townsend Warner tells of an aging spinster’s struggle to break away from her controlling family—a classic story that she treats with cool feminist intelligence, while adding a dimension of the supernatural and strange.
 
Warner is one of the outstanding and indispensable mavericks of 20th-century literature, a writer to set beside Djuna Barnes and Jane Bowles, with a subversive genius that anticipates the fantastic flights of such contemporaries as Angela Carter and Jeanette Winterson.
