Lolly Willowes by Sylvia Townsend Warner
Sylvia Townsend Warner's first novel, published in 1926, is magical and subversive, anticipating the ficton of writers like Angela Carter and Jeanette Winterson.
The novel sharply undercuts its genteel appearance to reveal a dark and visceral heart.. An elegantly enchanting tale that transcends its era -- Lucy Scholes * Observer *
