The Lost Girl
The Lost Girl is a novel by D. H. Lawrence, published in 1920. Alvina Houghton is the daughter of a failing draper in a dull English Midlands town, sliding toward a life of respectable spinsterhood, until a travelling theatre troupe passes through and she falls for Ciccio, a poor Italian performer. Choosing him, she gives up her small certainties and follows him to a remote and primitive village in the mountains of southern Italy, where she must find out whether she can live the life she has chosen. Warmer and more comic than some of Lawrence’s work, the book is still a searching study of a woman breaking free of the deadening world that made her.
