Synopsis

A powerful and engrossing tale of extremes and extremists, D. H. Lawrence's Women in Love follows the passionate relationships of two sisters, Gudrun and Ursula Brangwen, with their respective lovers, the ominous Gerald Crich and the charismatic but fragile Rupert Birkin. Beginning in a narrow-minded English colliery town and culminating amidst the ice and snow of the Alps, the abortive alliance between the two men and the couples' affairs are played out against the derangements of industrialism and the need to find new ways of living and better ways of dying.

A masterpiece that heralded the erotic consciousness of the twentieth century, Lawrence considered Women in Love his best novel, exploring through it his belief that love is "the great creative process."

About D. H. Lawrence

D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930) was a British writer of novels, poems, essays, short stories, and plays. Some of the books he wrote in the early 1900s became controversial because they contained direct descriptions of sexual relations. His best-known books are Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, Women in Love, and Lady Chatterley's Lover.

Goodreads review by Vit on September 04, 2022

Novels by D.H. Lawrence possess the absolutely unique psychological climate and Women in Love is definitely one of his groundbreaking masterpieces. I detest what I am, outwardly.

Probably it’s always going to be a mistake to reread a book you loved in your youth. I haven’t read Lawrence for a long time. I believed I had his triumphs and failures pretty clear in my mind. Sons and Lovers, the early stories, The Rainbow and Women in Love all masterpieces; everything that follow......more

Someone let the wicked genie out of the lamp tonight. He's writing this, not me. I promised myself I'd review only books I like. But he has other ideas . . . and he's tied my hands behind my back and is typing as I watch. WOMEN IN LOVE by D. H. Lawrence Hated the women. Felt sorry for the men who shoul......more

Goodreads review by Edward on May 23, 2008

Ever noticed how many people hate DH Lawrence? Often for opposite reasons by the way--there are those who condemn his misognyny, while others allege him to be too doting of the fair sex. Which is it? Sometimes he's damned for being too obscene, but elsewhere dismissed as overly fussy about flowers a......more

Goodreads review by MJ on October 17, 2020

Listen, I am redrafting a 500-page novel I wrote between the ages of 19-21. I have a comp sci degree to complete. I have 20+ Xmas books to read, I have 90+ movies to watch, I have the Guided by Voices canon to penetrate. There is no time for a witty capsule opinion of Women in Love, m’right? Believe......more
