Women in Love
Women in Love is D. H. Lawrence’s great companion to The Rainbow, published in 1920, and by many judged his finest novel. It follows the Brangwen sisters, Ursula and Gudrun, and the two men they are drawn to, the thoughtful Rupert Birkin and the powerful industrialist Gerald Crich, through love affairs that reach for something beyond ordinary happiness and risk destruction in the search. Set against a darkening England and a journey into the Alps, the book explores the tension between love and freedom, tenderness and will, life and the pull toward death. Intense and philosophical, it is one of the central novels of English modernism. This free PDF and EPUB offers the complete novel.
