Sensuous and spirited yet sexually unfulfilled, Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen are schoolteachers living in a small mining town in the Midlands. In their search for passion, Gudrun submits to the aristocrative, cruel Gerald Crich, while Ursula finds comfort in his close friend Birkin. Driven by forces beyond their control, their relationships shift and change, and the future holds danger as well as hope. Written during the First World War, Women In Love aroused controversy with its frank approach to sexual relations and disturbing undercurrent of violence and excess. The book was brilliantly enacted in Ken Russell's equally controversial film, which starred Glenda Jackson, Oliver Reed, Alan Bates and Jennie Linden.

Asked to name the ten greatest novels of the 20th Century very few well read people would leave this explosive, sensitive novel off the list. Lawrence had so many artistic talents - poet, essayist, travel writer, painter. But above all his best novels display all of these talents; and none more so than "Women in Love."
Many may disagree with his convictions that drive his characters in this powerfully unfolding tale, but somehow faulting what Lawrence believes, or for that matter, what his creations do to themselves and others, seems especially beside the point, as the poetic passion simply drowns any cool headed intellectual attempt to reduce the raw recreation of experience with such precision.
This is not suggest that Lawrence lacked the deep intelligence to delve into what it means to be human and expose the frailty of his passionate conduct. He senses with a sure instinct that it is this very passion that makes us all so vulnerable. Yet, he nevertheless shows us in scene after unfolding scene that being false to our true selves leads to even greater misery: the reductive misery of unfulfillment..
