Women in love – DH Lawrence This magnificent novel, which Lawrence himself considered his best, is the story of the lives and emotional conflicts of two sisters. Gudrun and Ursula, who appeared in The Rainbow, live in a Midlands colliery town. Ursula falls in love with Birkin (a self-portrait of Lawrence), and Gudrun has a tragic and demoniac affair with Gerald, the son of the local colliery owner. These four clash in thought, passion and belief, and the reader is gripped by deeply held convictions about love and modern society.
