Summary

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.

I want to live in the independent, magical, pagan world of Lilly Willows and her cat (familiar) Vinegar. Thanks to Simon Thomas of ‘Tea or Books’ for the recommendation.

Witchy cottage-core delight
