so-soI was surprised at the number of socioeconomic issues raised by this book, including class prejudice, sexism, the evils of industrialization and wealth disparity. I found the book to be a bit boring, and every character annoyed me - they were all so self-centered. But I admire Lawrence's ability to make us think about the issues, which are still relevant a hundred years later. ⬇️
julieclair I can see why the book was a shocker when it first came out; there are frank discussions of sex throughout the book. I can also imagine that readers at the time may have missed some of the socioeconomic themes being portrayed, because of the novelty of the sex theme. While I cannot say I enjoyed this book, I am glad I read it. Thanks for choosing this for #SundayBuddyRead , @TheBookHippie ! #192025 #1928 @Librarybelle #TBRTarot @CBee (edited) 2y
