A review by julia_roxxanne
Women in Love by D. H. Lawrence

2.0

"Women in Love" was about what I expected, except for the vague homosexual and pedophilic undertones in some of the characters. Two sisters who are lonely and bored and looking for some kind of excitement—and in the true literary style, they are each other's foils. The difference becomes more pronounced later in the book as the men they respectively date alter their lives and ideas. I find myself curiously ambivalent about this book and its characters, who despite being symbolic and richly depicted are unrelatable. They elicited very little sympathy, or anything else for that matter, in me. Read it if you like but I don't think it's anything special.
