The book which grasped my attention this term is "Women In Love. This novel by D. H. Lawrence, first published in 1920, speaks about the destructive human passion, reflecting on the impact of Lawrence of World War I. The story takes place in the Midlands of England in the 1910s and the reader is introduced two main characters, Ursula who is a teacher and Gudrun who is an artist. The major themes portrayed in this novel are marriage, the triangle of desire, life and art. Ursula and Gudrun are portrayed as independent women who, although are not from the upper class, meet two men of who are of social superiority, and who pursue them into marriage and defy their social norms.
I enjoyed reading this book due to D. H. Lawrence's style of writing and unique way of interpreting each and every character.
