Join Morbid Anatomy founder Joanna Ebenstein as we discuss Lolly Willowes or the Loving Hunstsman (1926). Written by the fascinating lesbian writer Sylvia Townsend Warner, this a gentle, thoughtful, and slyly subversive novel focuses on the midlife journey of a woman who dares to dream of something beyond traditional family life. As she settles into a new life in the countryside, the book moves into the territory of the supernatural and subversive, exploring radical freedom and the importance of creating a space of one’s own.
