My review.
Reminds me of Austin's Pride and Prejudice in more ways than one; the sisters (Gudren and Ursula) each falling for their Mr MC Dreamies who happen to be good friends with eachother. What a quartet! Lawrence nevertheless treats his readers to expansive metaphors, images and he manages to finish with similar ideas to Austin's, without that false sense of wedded happiness.
I found the first part of this novel to be brilliant but nearing the end at the mountains, I was just dying for the book to finish already. The end is definatly well work hanging out for though. *** <three stars! JONO |

I don't agree with you at all, the book is nothing like any of Austin's works, Women in Love is very intimate, complex, and interesting, it's a small version of the relationships failure and success, things just don't flow easily in this book, and one needs to read it again and again, coz it just never ends, it's the best book after War & Peace...
