Amazon Editorial Review:
Lawrence's first major novel was also the first in the English language to explore ordinary working-class life from the inside. No writer before or since has written so well about the intimacies enforced by a tightly-knit mining community and by a family where feelings are never hidden for long. Paul Morel is caught between his need for family and community and his efforts to define himself sexually and emotionally. Lawrence's powerful description of Paul's relationships makes this a novel as much for the beginning of the twenty-first century as it was for the beginning of the twentieth.
This is also No. 749 on the 1001 books you must read before you die list.

Received today. I have 1 bookray ahead of it. Thanks for sharing :D
Started today. Sorry for the delay.
ugh! I'm half way through this and I keep finding myself putting it down and picking up other books to read. I think that if I persevered that I would eventually finish it. However, I'm about to go on holidays for a month and I'm not sure that I can really delay this ray any longer.
I have been defeated by D H Lawrence.

Oh! Man! I've had this book for a while and clean forgot to journal it!
Please forgive me everyone. I've been working on an art piece (which I finally got in before the deadline), looked around and realised I hadn't journaled this book!
I did sit down and have a few goes at reading it over a few late nights and a few days off the arty-time. However, I just couldn't get into it. I guess there's time for D.H. Lawrence, there's times where your brain and imagination doesn't jump in.
Now, I was looking at who to send this to, but I've noted that I'm the last one the list... I'll keep this for a bit and see who to send this on to - unless an extended holiday comes up at some point soon.

Caught via a book bag that Mozette so generously sent me.
Will pop aside to release at a later date.
