Lolly Willowes
by Sylvia Townsend Warner
“For a woman trapped by tradition, the Devil is a much more agreeable companion than her family.”
After decades of serving as the invisible, dutiful aunt to her overbearing London relatives, Laura Willowes finally stages a quiet rebellion by fleeing to the wild hills of Buckinghamshire. In this sharp and witty feminist classic, Laura discovers that true independence requires more than just a change of scenery—it requires a pact with the supernatural.
