The Lost Girl

The Lost Girl is perhaps D.H. Lawrences most beautiful, thoroughly contemporary love story. This captivating novel charts the journey of a woman caught between two worlds and two lives, one mired in dreary, industrial England and a life of convention, the other set in the vibrant Italian landscape holding the promise of sensual liberation. Alvina Houghton is fading into spinsterhood when she meets Naplesborn Cicio, who reawakens her desire as she defies her stifling upperclass life.
