“Sons and lovers” by D H Lawrence is almost a study in cruelty masquerading as love.

So. Many. Mommy issues. 4 stars for the first half, 2 for the 2nd.

It was pretty good. Most of the book was excellent and... profound(there's no other word for it), but parts of it were nondescript.. Yes. There's a good deal to take away from this book. I might revisit it some day.. in the distant future.

DNF. I'm a massive Lawrence fan but I'm shocked to say the writing here wasn't the Lawrence I love.

I was getting very frustrated with the dreadful mother and the pathetic son whose whole life devoted to the dreadful clawing mother beautiful language though
