A review by muftarova
Sons and Lovers by D. H. Lawrence
4.0
A book that caused me emotional turmoil.
I can't even begin to describe how disturbing it sometimes was. The Oedipus complex that the sons had, would even have Freud turning in his grave, it was that upsetting. The tension between the two lovers (i won't name names, in order not to spoil) literally causes anxiety in the reader, and invests him/her deeply into the characters and the book itself. It was one of the most beautifully written books i've ever read and the scenery it causes you to imagine is just wonderful. The insight of the characters' thoughts and feelings was very masterful and i love how it represented love, and relationships very realistically. I scarcely read this book (i like to take my time) but when i did, i just couldn't put it down. It is a wonderful read, not very complex but astonishing. It reminded me very much of the classic russian novels and i would recommend it to everyone! I hope my review intrigues you to pick it up, it is very much worth it.
