When Gertrude Coppard, a refined young woman, meets Walter Morel, a
rough coalminer, at a Christmas party dance, they feel immediately
drawn to each other. After a short romance defined by physical
attraction, the couple decide to marry. However, Gertrude soon
realizes the financial difficulties of trying to survive off of
Walter’s measly salary. These troubles quickly cause the two to
fight and grow apart. Walter begins to drink the little money they
have away, retreating to a bar every night. Once he becomes
abusive, Gertrude becomes dedicated to ensuring that her children
do not turn out like their father, and decides to reinvest her love
into her two sons, William and Paul. Her oldest, William, is her
favorite, and her love is reciprocated; William is only willing to
be separated from her when he begins a new job in London, rising
from his poor social class. When Paul, Gertrude’s youngest,
suffers from pneumonia, she realizes how much she cares for him as
well. Unlike William, Paul feels smothered by his mother’s
attention, growing complex emotions about her. Both drawn to and
disgusted by Gertrude, Paul decides to venture out and find love.
When Paul meets Miriam, a smart and kind farmer’s daughter, he
feels that they are a great match. Gertrude, however, does not
approve. Haunted by this and feeling unsatisfied, Paul leaves
Miriam for Clara, a feminist divorcée. Still, Paul is worried
about his mother. He realizes that he is the sole cause of her
happiness; without his attention, Gertrude has nothing. Conflicted,
Paul becomes torn between chasing his own happiness or appeasing
his mother. Sons and Lovers by D.H Lawrence is a sensational
portrayal of a generational clash and the differing types of
abusive relationships. In 1999, the Modern Library ranked Sons and
Lovers as ninth on a list of the top one-hundred best novels from
the 20th century. Since then, the narrative has also inspired
several film adaptations. With strong, sentimental, and scandalous
prose, D.H Lawrence creates a narrative that is not soon to be
forgotten. This edition of Sons and Lovers by D.H Lawrence features
an eye-catching cover design and is printed in a font that is both
modern and readable, crafting a reading experience for contemporary
audiences that is filled with enjoyment and ease.
