Living Alone

Living Alone by Stella Benson is a witty, whimsical novel of wartime London, where committee rooms, lonely lodgings, and respectable routines are quietly disrupted by magic. At the center of the story is Sarah Brown, an unconventional young woman drawn toward a stranger who may be a witch and toward a freer, stranger way of living. Blending fantasy, social satire, and anti-war feeling, Benson's novel is both playful and sharp, capturing loneliness, rebellion, and the search for human connection in a world ruled by rules and appearances. This edition is prepared for clear, comfortable reading while preserving the charm, wit, and historical character of the original text.
