Lolly Willowes, a gentle and accommodating woman, possesses hidden depths that surprise those around her. When she abruptly announces her intention to leave London and move to the countryside, her overbearing relatives are filled with horror. However, Lolly has a greater, far darker calling than family: witchcraft.
This captivating book will forever be pressed into the hands of readers, recounting the story of a woman who defies the societal expectations laid upon her and embraces the freedom to live life on her terms. Suddenly, she finds herself plunged into an extraordinary and lucid state of wildness, leaving a lasting impact on those who encounter her prose.
Helen Macdonald's writing is characterized by its wit, eerie atmosphere, and tender portrayal of characters. Her simple, abrupt evocations possess a preternatural quality that captivates readers and transports them into the world of her stories. John Updike, in his review, praises her prose for its wit, stating that it is "witty, eerie, tender." He also notes the preternatural nature of her writing, which leaves a lasting impression on the reader.
Lolly Willowes is a remarkable novel that delves into the depths of human nature, exploring the boundaries between societal expectations and personal freedom. Through the character of Lolly, Macdonald offers a powerful portrayal of a woman who refuses to be bound by convention and embraces her true calling, even if it means defying the expectations of those around her. This book is a testament to the power of storytelling and the ability of literature to inspire and challenge us.
