Publisher's 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.

A hidden gem
At least, it seems to be in Canada, and is not even available at my local library. I stumbled upon a reference to this book in a Guardian article about novels that feature forests. It is a complete delight and somehow feels both classic and fresh. Sarah Nichols' wry delivery is perfect for Townsend Warner's bracingly precise English and slightly weird sense of humour; I laughed out loud at "Fuseli, pronounced Fuseli" and plenty else!
