Bonus episode: Lolly Willowes
Lolly Willowes: or, the loving huntsman is the deceptively simple novel by Sylvia Townsend Warner, about a woman who after 40 years spent in devotion to taking care of her father, and her brother’s family, decides to move to the countryside and become a witch! Does she find freedom, or does she exchange one form of subjugation for another? Join us for our bonus Halloweeeeeen episode of the Bookclub.
If you haven’t read the novel yet, beware – we assume you’ve read it, so here’s your spoiler alert!
Featuring Aubrey Hicks (@AubreyHi), Lisa Schweitzer (@drschweitzer), and David Sloane (@dcsloane53 )
