This collection brings together five of Lawrence's short stories from 1907-13 and ranges across all his major early styles and themes. They portray his distinctive vision of relations between men and woman, as well as social and economic life and human nature in general. The stories here concentrate on the details and dramas of everyday living, yet Lawrence is able to make these familiar things seem both vivid and strange, drawing the listener into intense participation with the thoughts and emotional experiences of his characters.

"Very raunchy but a good read. Again there is a focus on money v happiness an money never seems to prevail, which can be said for life too. I am glad the characters find happiness, sexually, romantically and hopefully happy ever after. " — Charlotte (4 out of 5 stars)

" Very difficult read; large words I had to look up, and the book was steamy. Not exactly my favorite book of all time, but worth the read. "
" Liked it, though I expected something more... scandalous, what with all the fuss around this book. "
" Except for the sex I wasn't too enthralled. Of course, I was a teenaged male. Date read is a guess. "
" Good read, but I liked Madame Bovary better. "
" I read all of Lawrence at the Community Park Swimming pool when I was 16 years old. I loved all of his books. So sensual, but I was so young I should reread. So many books and so little time. "
" It was ok, but not that racy!!! It took me a while to get to grips with it. The 'sex' thats in it is brief and hard to find. "
D. H. Lawrence (1885–1930) was a British writer of novels, poems, essays, short stories, and plays. Some of the books he wrote in the early 1900s became controversial because they contained direct descriptions of sexual relations. His best-known books are Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, Women in Love, and Lady Chatterley’s Lover.
