About this listen

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.

Wonderfull

I have read this book before and loved it but this reading brought it to life for me. No doubt I shall return to it many times.

Those that haven't read this book and are contemplating doing so should know that it's a very slow burner but well worth it.
