Siegmund, an orchestral violinist trapped in an unhappy marriage, escapes for a few days by the sea with Helena, his pupil and lover, on the Isle of Wight. Lawrence follows the intensity and the strain of their brief holiday, the sunlight, swimming and moods, and the return to London and the family waiting for him there.
Lawrence’s second novel, published in 1912, already full of the emotional daring of Sons and Lovers. Download the free EPUB.
