aleksandra28 's review for:
Sons and Lovers
by D. H. Lawrence
I can see why Forster regarded Lawrence as "the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation".
Quite frankly, Lawrence's use of the English language is impressive, idiosyncratic, affluent and aesthetic. I feel like one should have a piece of paper and a pen by their side (whilst they are reading), for they can't/won't forget the beauty and the importance the words have.
The beginning of the novel swept me off my feet, the middle sang to me a slow lullaby, nonetheless, I found the ending quite dull and predictable; which made me lose the initial interest I had in the novel.
What I did like about this novel is the way it approached the themes it explored. Although, what put me off for the most part was the inactivity, the constant going-with-the-flow and the communication (or lack thereof) of/between the characters.
On the brighter side, the repetition of certain words in the novel doesn't prevent me from recommending it to anyone who's a lover of modernist literature! :)
