A review by dmollon
Sons and Lovers by D. H. Lawrence

4.0

Have been wanting to read this book for some time. It is a heartbreaking depiction of how we are all flawed and as flawed and damaged individuals we become parents, totally unaware of the damage we inflict. A depiction of how we are unaware of the damaged relationships that have formed, or deformed, our human personality. What humans call love really isn't love. Only Miriam seems to understand divine love, but it of course doesn't resemble a fairy tale at all. I can only imagine writing the book was as freeing to DH Lawrence as one hopes the death of his mother will be for Paul.
