L was very perceptive and sensitive to the world about him, and the people who occuppied that world. I think you will enjoy the 'Lovers' part very much. Gee, I did not think about it in split terms. I must review my book - are their two sections actually with the headings of "Sons" and "Lovers" ? In reading the second half, keep in mind that Miriam was Lawrence's very real woman friend/girlfriend, Jessie. Others in the book are also 'based' on very real people.
Yes, I thought the death of William very sad and very tragic. Indeed, more so now, that I know this was the true fate of Lawrence's brother. Lawrence was the youngest child in the family. The rest of the book becomes even more captivating. Enjoy!
