About the BookIn this delightful and witty novel, Laura Willowes rebels against pressure to be the perfect "maiden aunt." Not interested in men or the rushed life of London, Laura is forced to move there from her beloved countryside after the death of her father. Finally, she strikes out for the countryside on her own, selling her soul to an affable but rather simple-minded devil. First written in the 1920s, this book is timely and entertaining. It was the first selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club in 1926. Reviews"The Academy Chicago edition . . . speaks for itself, in the lively introduction by Anita Miller.'"––John Updike, Hugging the Shore "Lolly Willowes . . . remains a novel as original in its conception as it is subtle and refined in its artistry."––Times Literary Supplement "Lolly Willowes is a treasure; profound, crisp and brilliant . . ."––Boston Sunday Globe "A skillfully told morality tale."––New York Times Book Review |
