After visiting DH Lawrence’s ranch in New Mexico, I felt inspired to read this famous novel. I enjoyed it… more at the beginning, and less as the novel progressed. It was a fascinating reflection of the modern era in England and the ideas around class, gender, money and (of course) sex and love after WWI. I wished Connie had more depth, and wish we saw more of Mellers’ depth before his final letter.
Graphic: Sexual content
If the words cunt and fuck bother you… probably good to avoid this book.
