Lolly Willowes (New York Review Books (Paperback) Book 5)
🔥Editors’ Pick — Why It Hooks YouA buttoned-up “maiden aunt” flees London for the Chiltern Hills, strikes a pact with the Devil—“the Loving Huntsman”—and discovers witchcraft as a radical form of self-possession. Lolly Willowes blends sly comedy with a proto-feminist bite, turning village woods and sabbaths into a rebuke to family duty and social piety. It’s brisk, subversive, and startlingly modern for a 1926 classic—no wonder it’s long been hailed as a quiet call to freedom.
