A review by evervales
Women in Love by D. H. Lawrence
2.0
possibly not the most tedious read of all time, but it's a close one. some truly brilliant flashes of writing throughout (throw in palpable homoerotic longing and some ruth/naomi + cain/abel dynamics into anything to create my Ideal Text, tbh) but god did this book take its sweet time reaching a fucking conclusion. a really great conclusion. but not great enough to make up for the amount of times i requested the book to fuck off and stop getting longer (honestly!) every time i checked to see how much i'd trudged through.
you know what. i think what really pisses me off about the whole thing is the fact that lawrence's thematic love affair with ambivalence- attraction/repulsion, respect/disgust, kindness/cruelty, blah/blah- really, really grated on me, but then it turns out that i'm the one with the ambivalence issues. because i disliked this book. and yet.
