Published in 1926, but still unpublished in Brazil, Lolly Willowes is the first novel by one of the most unfairly treated writers of all time: Sylvia Townsend Warner. With her sharp and controversial writing, she was one of the first feminists to bring to light sensitive themes, many of which were explored by Virginia Woolf decades later. The loss of her father forever marked Lolly Willowes's life. That's why, as a child, she decides to live with her brother, where she cares for her nephews and nephews and helps her sister-in-law with the housework. For twenty years, Lolly becomes a sycophant, becoming a beloved aunt to the family. Spinster at just twenty-eight, she decides to abandon urban London and move to the rural village of Great Mop, where she will blossom emotionally and spiritually. However, everything becomes complicated after a visit from a cat that the young woman is certain was sent by the forces of darkness, by the devil himself. Deliciously ironic, magical, and subversive, this is the author's debut novel. A classic from the first half of the 20th century, Lolly Willowes is the portrait of a strong woman, capable of finding her freedom and undoing the shackles imposed upon her. \"A novel that, beneath its tender surface, reveals a dark and visceral heart. Lolly Willowes is elegant and charming. She transcends her time.\" (The Observer) \"Sylvia has the talent of a genius.\" (The Guardian) \"Lolly Willowes can suggest liberation or madness. It's a tense story that shows how difficult it is to have control over one's life, how easy it is to take an inexorable detour into the unknown.\" (News-Press)","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159249305852,"sku":"9788528616613","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/a33a73227e4372a61c07d85273ab0c04.jpg?v=1778326482"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/sylvia-townsend-warner.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
