A tragic story about the impossibility of true love. Lawrence focuses on two couples, partly using protagonists from his previous novel [b:The Rainbow|31491|The Rainbow|D.H. Lawrence|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388193710l/31491._SY75_.jpg|2337578]. Birkin and Ursula seem to have a successful relationship, though not completely, Gerald and Ursula fail. I found this book very rich in content, and offering a more coherent story than 'Rainbow'. Lawrence offers beautiful introspections into woman/manhood. But, as always with him, he can walk strange side paths.
