Hi YT,
I read part of a great post a while back in which you talked about, among other things, the book Lolly Willowes, by Sylvia Townsend Warner. I was so intrigued I got it from my library, promising myself that once I finished I would go back and read the rest of your post–the part with the spoilers in it. I finished the book tonight (yowza! so good!) but can’t seem to find your write-up. Could you let me know if you deleted it? I’ve tried all kinds of search keywords but can’t turn anything up.
Thanks!
Lizzie
