Found this beautiful slip-covered edition at a Value Village and just the feel of it inspired me to re-read this classic.
Summer re-reading. What will be different when I re-read this, DHL's last novel, fifty years later?
I still find his language a bit wordy, but so sincere. Sincerely averse to industrial ugliness and its ravages on the land and the workers. Sincerely passionate about the beauty of nature and about our human place within that flower-strewn green natural world. So sad that the public were blinded by the sex and oblivious to the true obscenities which Mellors was trying to hide from, and Lawrence was trying to raise awareness about.
