Women in Love

In 1910s England, sisters Ursula and Gudrun meet the intellectual school inspector Rupert Birkin and Gerald Crich, heir to a coal mine. The four become friends and soon enter into relationships with each other. Ursula and Rupert's well-balanced relationship contrasts with Gudrun and Gerald's tumultuous one, where jealousy drives them further and further apart. Women in Love, like many of D. H. Lawrence's books, faced criticism for its sexual content when first published in 1921.

D. H. LAWRENCE [1885-1930] was one of the greatest English writers of the 20th century. Lawrence's depictions of erotica and sexuality led to several of his novels being banned and censored. He lived in self-imposed exile for four years due to the reception of his novels.
