Sons and Lovers by D. H. Lawrence

3.0

I hate you, I love you, let's chat, let's murder....the duality of humanity is on full display in Sons and Lovers.

The first half is a well-drawn classic portrait of English struggle, then it zags where you don't even see a zig coming.

Characters don’t seek sex they thirst for a communion of soul. Taboo love, non-traditional violence, even slick writing tricks like changing POV mid scene. Expect some incredibly serious drama, and everyone waking up far too early.

Recommended to daring readers and those passionate for coal mining.
