No one ever wrote better about the power struggles of sex and love
No one ever wrote better about the power struggles of sex and love – Doris LessingA masterpiece, for its acute psychological insight, its complex relationships, and its intensity of feeling and expression.

About The Author
D.H. Lawrence
David Herbert Lawrence was born in Nottinghamshire in 1885. After briefly working in both manufacturing and teaching, he published his first novel, The White Peacock in 1911. He then published Sons and Lovers, but his next novel, The Rainbow, was suppressed for its alleged obscenity, and for three years he could not find a publisher for Women in Love. After the First World War he decided to escape the persecution he had suffered in England and spent many years travelling. His last novel, Lady Chatterley’s Novel, was published in 1928 but banned in Britain and America until 1960, when landmark trials cleared the way for publication of unexpurgated editions for the first time. D. H. Lawrence died in 1930.
