D. H. Lawrence's works that I have read stand alone in my experience for their at times awkward prose with with regularly clipped 4 word sentences, duplicated sentences and phrases with in a single paragraph, and use of 'hate' in response to so many simple interaction. The style at times is distracting to the point of taking one out of the book. Lawrence's focus is primarily on tension arising from human instinct for freedom and inability to experience love without sacrificing freedom. Plots and events are largely symbolic and fragmented. The focus is on the internal minds of characters and their intellectual struggles brought out through relationships with others. The 4 main characters each deeply and uniquely expressed. They are very modern for the time of writing and it's easily understood how controversial and even offensive and they would have been. Depending on your sensibilities that may still be. This is mostly an intellectual, even philosophical exploration of the way individuals compromise or for love or abandon it for freedom. Not the easiest read but rewarding and expansive.
