Women in Love | DH Lawrence
19 posts | 34 read | 23 to read
"Women in Love is a work of genius. It contains characters which are masterpieces of pure creation." -- New Statesman WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY HOWARD JACOBSON Women in Love begins one blossoming spring day in England and ends with a terrible catastrophe in the snow of the Alps. Ursula and Gudrun are very different sisters who become entangled with two friends, Rupert and Gerald, who live in their hometown. The bonds between the couples quickly become intense and passionate but whether this passion is creative or destructive is unclear. In this astonishing novel, widely considered to be D.H. Lawrence's best work, he explores what it means to be human in an age of conflict and confusion.

I absolutely love wearing rings, and anklets, and this sentence described my love for them like nothing else has. Tiny fragments of loveliness indeed.

Just three chapters in and I already have fallen out of love with this book. What a frustrating way of writing. DNF.

Hope, LCL is better than this one.

Stupendo ogni oltre dire. Di Lawrence lessi qualche anno fa L‘Amanti di Lady C. ma non mi entusiasmò più di tanto. Questo romanzo secondo me è infinitamente superiore

I‘m not sure about this one. 175 pages in and I find the characters awfully dull. #1001books

Anger and hurt probably being the predominant reactions all these people have to each other

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Sorry to hear that☹️ 7y
JenP @Riveted_Reader_Melissa are you liking it? I@seem to be in the minority 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @JenP I‘m not reading this one, my schedule was a bit to packed for it this January. 7y

BookwormM @JenP have you read The Rainbow? I am tossing up whether to read it first or not based on other books I have read I am not a Lawrence fan 7y
JenP @BookwormM no. I read lady Chatterly‘s lover which was just okay for me. Haven‘t read any others 7y
BookwormM @JenP The Rainbow is the first book in the trilogy so far do you think you need to know back story of anyone? 7y
JenP @BookwormM no 😂 I don‘t think I could stomach 2 books about these people 7y
BookwormM @JenP I feel like that but my OCD side hates reading series out of order 🤣🤣 7y
JenP @BookwormM I‘m about 50% I‘m and haven‘t felt like I was missing any back story 7y
BookwormM @JenP good to know 7y

I love DH Lawrence, although this is the only one I own. And this old Shakespeare is so special to me, I have the vinework from the inner cover tattooed around my ankle.

Re-reading a book I haven't looked at in YEARS, and I built myself these super essential shelves, because all these books were sitting on the floor in my closet-room until today.

Carissa-Green-Reads I read this one back in the day. I remember thinking a more accurate title would be "Men in Denial." 8y
