Set in early twentieth-century England, Lolly Willowes is a satirical comedy of manners and an early feminist classic. With deft storytelling and compelling prose, Sylvia Townsend Warner invites you into a world where convention meets enchantment, where the line between reality and the supernatural is blurred. Lolly Willowes, a woman of quiet rebellion and hidden desires, dares to free herself from a suffocating web of familial and societal expectations. As Lolly sheds her dutiful daughter and obedient sister skin, she finds solace and freedom in the quaint village of Great Mop, with its chalk hills and beech woods. When her newfound contentment is threatened by the arrival of her nephew, she boldly embraces a dark path to secure an audacious and irrevocable freedom.
