Sons and Lovers (D. H. Lawrence)

D. H. Lawrence
Sons and Lovers














A well written and mainly engaging novel with some beautify descriptions of nature and pit villages. A hard story apparently autobiographic of fathers, mothers, sons, and, well, lovers. However, DH does go on a bit in parts which I'm sure is what makes his novels so brilliant for some but I thought he presses a point a bit too much. Which is a very vague memory I have of Lady Chatterley's Lover which I read a fair few decades ago and I've not been back to DH since. Having said that the content of this novel would probably have been controversial as was his most infamous work.
