TITLE - SONS AND LOVERS
AUTHOR - D. H. LAWRENCE
ON A SCALE OF 1 THROUGH 10 =
8
The first half of this book was just wonderful. I would have given the book a 10 if the second half had been as good. The first half was about a husband and wife and their relationship. It was set in the 1800's (written then also) and man, it was really good. But then it shifted to the life of one of their sons and became a story about the mother and son. They had an unhealthy relationship. She wouldn't let go of him so everytime he met a girl, he would struggle between his relationship with his mother and the new girl. And the mother would always win out. The son didn't realize why he was so unhappy. The second half of the book was about his struggle with this unhealthy relationship. It just wore me out!
