Finally had a chance to sit down and start Sylvia Townsend Warner's Lolly Willowes. I've been meaning to check out Warner's work for quite some time, but it was a recent trip to New York that prompted me to pick up her first book. 80 pages in and I am absolutely in love with it.

Yes, it's brilliant!
