Esta novela, situada en el puritanismo victoriano, y prohibida en Inglaterra por su contenido erótico, habla sobre la relación de una dama de la alta sociedad con un trabajador de su esposo. Pero más allá de entablar una novela sobre los deseos carnales, D.H. Lawrence habla sobre la relación interpersonal de un hombre y una mujer, el significado de la conciencia, los impulsos afectivos y, sobretodo, la ternura que existe entre los seres humanos. Lawrence fue un crítico de las rigideces y los sistemas esquemáticos e hipócritas que imperaban en esos años, reflejados en esta obra, lo que hace este clásico de la literatura contemporánea, una novela imperdible.

David Herbert Lawrence (1885–1930) was an English writer and poet whose work famously examined the results of industrialisation on contemporary society. In his novels and poetry, Lawrence explored a variety of then-controversial issues including sexuality and emotional health, which led many to label his work pornography. Today, he is considered to be one of the most important and influential writers of his generation. Lawrence's 1920 novel “Women in Love” is a sequel to “The Rainbow” (1915) and continues the story of Gudrun and Ursula Brangwen, exploring their lives and loves in pre-World War I England. A veritable masterpiece of English literature not to be missed by those who have read and enjoyed others works by Lawrence. Other notable works by this author include: “The White Peacock” (1911), “The Trespasser” (1912), and “Sons and Lovers” (1913). Read & Co.
