Product Description
Lolly Willowes comes from a long-establishe d family of country gentry, and she grows up accepting the inalterability of all its customs. After her beloved father dies, she is sent off to London to be looked afte r by her officious brother and his pious wife. The years pass. Lolly feels increasin gly lonely and out of place, until, impulsively, she decides to strike out on her ow n. She rents a room in a remote country village, where she becomes aware of mysterio us goings-on. She begins to recognize the workings of the profound and uncanny p ower that will transform her life once and for all.
In Lolly Willowes, Sylvia Townsend Warner tells of a woman's struggle to break away from her family--a classic story that she treats with cool feminist intelligence, an d to which she adds a dimension of the supernatural and strange. For Warner is one o f the outstanding and indispensable mavericks of twentieth-century literature, a wri ter to set beside Djuna Barnes and Jane Bowles, with a subversive genius that anticipates the fantastic flig hts of such contemporaries as Angela Carter and Jeanette Winterson.
