Publisher's summary

"Let us hesitate no longer to announce that the sensual passions and mysteries are equally sacred with the spiritual mysteries and passions", wrote D. H. Lawrence in Women in Love, his masterpiece heralding the erotic consciousness of the 20th century. Lawrence explores love, sex, passion, and marriage through the eyes of two sisters, Gudrun and Ursula Brangwen. Intelligent, incisive, and observant, the two very different sisters pursue thrilling, torrid affairs with their lovers, Rupert and Gerald, while searching for more mature emotional relationships. Against a haunting World War I backdrop of coal mines, factories, and a beleaguered working class, Gudrun and Ursula's temperamental differences spark an ongoing debate regarding their society, their inner lives, and the mysteries between men and women. Lawrence considered this to be his best novel.

A masterpiece

Lawrence is a master at delving into complex and intimate relationships that cannot be easily expressed in words. The details are magnificent. The plot twists and turns in unexpected ways and,
as the narrative drew to a close, I kept wondering how it would end, not as I expected, but perfect.

I could see each character vividly and felt for each in their own worlds.

Women In Love

To begin on a positive note, the narrator was perfect! I loved the narration! The story was depressing and drawn out. The main characters had too much time on their hands to have lengthy conversations with no apparent intention and end in sight.
If this is what it meant to be in love for this characters, then stay single.

Not actually a sequel to The Rainbow

DNF - After thoroughly enjoying The Rainbow, I was excited to continue with the story of the Brangwens in this book (ad with the same outstanding reader), but the sisters in this book, although named the same are not the same characters that were in the previous book and the story, though well written, is shallow and generally annoying
