Review

"The greatest imaginative novelist of our generation." -- E.M. Forster

Product Description

The sequel to "The Rainbow", D. H. Lawrence's "Women in Love" follows the continuing lives and loves of Gudrun and Ursula Brangwen. This is the story of two sisters, Ursula, a teacher, and Gudrun, an artist, living in the midlands of England during the early 20th century who meet two men who live nearby, Rupert Birkin and Gerald Crich, and soon get involved with them romantically. Controversial during its time, "Women in Love" is a tragic tale of love set against the backdrop of the First World War.

Format:Paperback
I seriously loved this book! It wasn't the typical romance novel i assumed it to be when i first piked it up. I don't at all agree with my fellow reviewer that it was at times sexist! The women in it were completely independent making their own decisions and moulding their own careers although writing this i do see that they were portrayed as more scheming an in worse light than the men.

It is a great reflection of the time it was written and shocking for a modern reader to see how far socially since ww1 we've moved on in terms of openness about sex and sexuality as well as the relevance of the traditional home and family, i also feel many of the questions brought up in the novel are as relevant today as they were when it was written.

It's a book well worth a read, brilliantly written and at times the tension between characters is excruciating.

Lawrence's Best 10 April 2009
Format:Paperback
This is regarded as Lawrence's greatest work of literature and I find it difficult to disagree. The book is insightful, superbly written and delves deep into the familiar Lawrence areas of sex, sexuality, love, social class, & materialism. It is also written before Lawrence became embittered with society, which shows in his later works. Although the book is best (as it always is), there is also a great film of the book directed by Ken Russell and starring Oliver Reed. If you're new to Lawrence I would suggest going for `The Rainbow', `Selected Short Stories' or `Sons and Lovers' before tackling this.

An appalling slog 14 Feb 2012
Format:Paperback
This book has to be one of the most frustrating reads I have ever indulged in, I leave this review now after having finished it about 10 minutes ago.
I say frustrating because I do not believe it is a complete waste of time as far as storyline goes, the narrative is occasionally interesting.
However the experience is constantly marred by the monologues and endlessly dull speculation on everything from love, what it is to be a woman and ridiculous viewpoints on the state of education (Hermione's point of view that ignorance is freedom because to know anything steals the magical enjoyment of it I found particularly stupid.)

The characters seem devoid of emotion, the conversations they have are constantly improbable and the ever-changing way that they regard each other makes the "emotional" ending a completely damp squib. To date: my least favourite classic of all time, next time I will be sticking with Dickens or Kafka.

Simply as good as it gets!
Forget the sex. Lawrence finds heaven in the world around him and the people in it. As good as fiction writing gets.
