By: D. H. Lawrence | Series: Everyman's Library Contemporary Classics Series
One of the world's most original works of fiction from one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. • "No one ever wrote better about the power struggles of sex and love." —Doris Lessing, Nobel Prize-winning Author of The Golden Notebook
Gertrude Morel is a refined woman who married beneath her and has come to loathe her brutal, working-class husband. She focuses her passion instead on her two sons, who return her love and despise their father. Trouble begins when Paul Morel, a budding artist, falls in love with a young woman who seems capable of rivaling his mother for possession of his soul. In the ensuing battle, he finds his path to adulthood tragically impeded by the enduring power of his mother’s grasp. SONS AND LOVERS confirmed Lawrence’s genius and inaugurated the controversy over his explicit writing about sexuality and human relationships that would follow him to the end of his career.
