Overview
Laura "Lolly" Willowes is an unmarried, middle-aged woman in early twentieth century London--a spinster who for the past twenty years has lived with, and in service of, her brother's overbearing family. With her brother's children now grown and out of the house, Lolly shocks her family by making a choice for herself: to move, alone, to the country.
Once she arrives, Lolly carves out a life for herself in this lush and wild land, finding independence and a peace that she has never before experienced. Unfortunately, the family can't quite let go of Lolly, and her nephew shows up unannounced to move in to her country home. So long ruled by her family's expectations, Lolly makes a rash decision to solve her problems. With a subversive wit, Sylvia Townsend Warnerās feminist classic poses the questionāwhat would a woman do to ensure her freedom?
The Modern Library Torchbearers series features women who wrote on their own terms, with boldness, creativity, and a spirit of resistance.
