Sons and Lovers
by D. H. Lawrence
What works for me in this book is Lawrence's take on human relationships. Through the book Lawrence's dwells into the intricacies of human relationships and he shows the kind of relationships people have and how these relationships can make or break us. In this book, Lawrence goes into the basic emotional and intellectual basis of a relationship; whether it is with family, friend, lover or the nature (Lawrence's favourite in most works.) A good read, it makes you evaluate your own relationships and makes you wonder as to why exactly you choose the people you want to be with. Paul's relationship with his mother and their mutual dependence forms the main plot of the story and the plot narrates how this vital and crucial relationship acts as a benchmark for his other relationships. As any classic, it is very descriptive and Lawrence can go on for pages and pages about the setting sun or the blooming of a flower and he does so but he makes it seem magical and wonderful.
