"Women in Love is a work of genius. It contains characters which are masterpieces of pure creation." — New StatesmanWITH AN INTRODUCTION BY HOWARD JACOBSONWomen in Love begins one blossoming spring day in England and ends with a terrible catastrophe in the snow of the Alps.

I can't see the point of DH Lawrence in this day and age and there will be no more forays into re-reading this dated stuff for me. Somethings do not stand the test of time.
