This novel is unjustly very obscure, a fact that the new reissue from Dörlemann is hopefully helping to change. Originally published in 1926, it tells the story of unmarried auntie Lolly who, out of the blue, vacates her post as an unpaid housemaid to her brother's family, to move to an obscure village in northern England. For the first time in her life, and much to her family's consternation, Lolly does what she wants and it involves cats, midnight dances, a very peculiar village and - Satan.
Utterly charming and uplifting, the novel's lighthearted treatment of such themes as the lack of prospects for women, loneliness and ageing is borne out by Lolly's esprit and its just rewards. It's a classic of early lesbian literature and should absolutely be read more.
