The setting of this book reminds me strongly of Coketown in Hard Times, but I'm not sure of the date the story takes place--early 1900's? <br><br>"...between ...
This is the first time I have read D. H. Lawrence and I must say he does have a great style. He has given such a clear picture of Mrs. Morel in the first 6 ...
Hi all .. I'm new here and thought I would introduce myself ... I'm Talia and I'm a student majoring in Enlgish Lit :) and recently I've been reading so very...
I see what you mean Kim about thinking she can't get away till the kids are grown, and when they are grown then sometimes it is too late, it gets harder and ...

Pat, I wish I had been a member of Bookworms back in August--actually I was but I didn't start participating till October with Agatha Christie. My mother got ...

I'm still wondering when this story takes place,<br><br>"He (Mr. Morel) loathed a fork; it is a modern introduction which has still scarcely reached common ...
This book was published in 1913. I have heard that this is a somewhat autobiographical work about D.H. Lawrence's life. Just a wild guess, but you might place...

Mrs. Morel can't quite let go of Mr. Morel, "Still there was one part of her wanted him for himself..." It's very hard to let go sometimes even if love is...
Betty,<br><br>I didn't know the book had been censored either until I found this copy. The uncensored version is easy to spot it's just under 500 pages long ...
Hi everyone,<br><br>Just wanted to see how you are all doing with Sons and Lovers. Who is reading it and who is not? Have we answered the "uncensored" question...
Rebekah, thank you for your post--I really think I must be reading the version published originally in 1913--it does not say "unexpergated" under the title,...
Hello. <br>I'm Em. I came across this whole club thing by accident one day and thought I'd give it a bash. This is just a quick hello as I should probably go...
The page numbers are probably insignificant due to the size of different (bigger, smaller, paperback, etc) books. If you have the unexpurgated text, you will...
