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

3.0

I actually liked this a lot more than I thought I would, considering D.H. Lawrence isn't my usual jam. I mean, nobody feels all that stuff like that all the time. His characters are crazy. His writing is overwrought and repetitive and just stream-of-consciousness-y enough to drive me nuts without really being innovative. And yet... sometimes, it all kinda works. I found myself weirdly gripped by this one and actually considering reading The Rainbow to get more backstory. So yes, long, sometimes interminably descriptive, melodramatic, often inadvertently hilarious, but strangely compelling.
