    Is it necessary to read 'The Rainbow' before 'Women in love'?

    Is it necessary to read 'The Rainbow' before 'Women in love'?

    I accidentally bought 'Women in love'. Later I came to know that it is a sequel to Rainbow. Please clarify..shall I start reading the book...wouldn't there be any plot confusions?

    No it is not necessary. While the two sisters are in both novels, the novels are quite separate and actually very different. Enjoy your reading, and when you get a chance, read The Rainbow as well. I love them both.

    You wrote a masters on Lawrence, right?

    Yes, my master's thesis was on DH Lawrence.
