Women in Love is a novel by D. H. Lawrence that explores the complex relationships between four characters: Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen, two sisters, and their respective lovers, Rupert Birkin and Gerald Crich. Set in the English Midlands during the early 20th century, the novel delves into themes of love, sexuality, gender roles, and societal expectations. Ursula and Gudrun are both independent and unconventional women who struggle to find fulfillment in their relationships with Rupert and Gerald, who are both deeply flawed and conflicted. The novel is known for its vivid descriptions of nature, its exploration of psychological and emotional states, and its frank portrayal of sexuality. It has been praised for its modernist style and its exploration of the complexities of human relationships. Women in Love is considered a classic of English literature and has been adapted for film and television several times.He knew that Ursula was referred back to him. He knew his life rested with her. But he would rather not live than accept the love she proffered. The old way of love seemed a dreadful bondage, a sort of conscription. What it was in him he did not know, but the thought of love, marriage, and children, and a life lived together, in the horrible privacy of domestic and connubial satisfaction, was repulsive.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

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..
