David Ellis's book is graceful, grave and elegantly written. Frequently witty and always well chosen in its detail, it ranges much more widely than its ostensible subject matter. William Palmer, Literary Review Absorbing throughout Laura Dietz, Times Literary Supplement If the subject is sombre, the account of Lawrence himself - great, complex, exasperating, brave - and the responses of his wife and various friends, are told with such verve and wit that I found myself laughing as I read. A brilliant, humane book Steven Poole, The Guardian Elegant, detailed and darkly humorous account of the demise of D H Lawrence. Brian Dillon, Irish Times an elegant, detailed and darkly humorous account of the demise of DH Lawrence ... Ellis's biographical experiment is a profoundly instructive and moving success.
