Lolly Willowes (New York Review of Books Classics Series) Poetry_Gift_Guide Instead of rising above mundane[The book] Ill be pressing into peoples hands forever is Lolly Willowes, the 1926 novel by Sylvia Townsend Warner. It tells the story of a woman who rejects the life that society has fixed for her in favor of freedom and the most unexpected of alliances. It completely blindsided me: Starting as a straightforward, albeit beautifully written family saga, it tips suddenly into extraordinary, lucid wildness. Helen Macdonald in The New York Times Book
