Join Morbid Anatomy founder Joanna Ebenstein for a book club session devoted to Lolly Willowes or the Loving Hunstsman (1926). Written by the fascinating bisexual Briwriter Sylvia Townsend Warner, this 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 transgressive, exploring radical freedom and the importance of creating a space of one’s own.
