A review by kiri_johnston
Women in Love, by D.H. Lawrence

4.0

A fascinating book, but one that didn't entirely work for me. It's a philosophical sort of novel that drifts from theme to theme and relationship to relationship without anything strong to link it all together. I love Lawrence's prose and it's a lot less repetitive here than it was in Lady Chatterley's Lover; plus, the gay subtext galore made for really interesting reading!! As much as I love Ursula and Gudrun, I would've preferred this book told from the perspectives of Birkin and Gerald; they have an interesting dynamic but it doesn't get a chance to flourish in between the central 'love stories'.
