A review by madidori
Women in Love, by D.H. Lawrence
4.0
Ever since I learned about D.H. Lawrence within the past year, I have been excited to read his work. And this one was interesting! I like how he actually dove into sexuality, which for his time was a big deal.
The book is (obviously) titled “Women In Love“ and the focus was to be on love in an increasingly industrial world. But I think there was a thread of repressed, maybe somewhat open, homosexuality that was fascinating. Especially since one of the male characters in this relationship is said to be modeled after Lawrence’s own self. 
There was a lot of metaphysical talk and philosophy that was hard to follow / stay interested in but it was a good read! Again, I really enjoyed how he looked into sexuality and passion and love, something we struggle with to this day. 
I definitely recommend this book, although it is not a light read. It’s almost 500 pages but I think it’s a good one to engage with!
