Lawrence's most scandalous novel, for which there was no publisher - and the author had to publish it at his own expense. The novel that brought the author to the dock - for violating the norms of public morality. Times change - and now in the story of two sisters from the English countryside , professing the idea of “open relationships”, there is nothing sensational left. However, the psychologism of the novel and the lightness of the style make this work interesting even for the most picky reader.
