Summary
"Let us hesitate no longer to announce that the sensual passions and mysteries are equally sacred with the spiritual mysteries and passions", wrote D. H. Lawrence in Women in Love, his masterpiece heralding the erotic consciousness of the 20th century. Lawrence explores love, sex, passion, and marriage through the eyes of two sisters, Gudrun and Ursula Brangwen. Intelligent, incisive, and observant, the two very different sisters pursue thrilling, torrid affairs with their lovers, Rupert and Gerald, while searching for more mature emotional relationships. Against a haunting World War I backdrop of coal mines, factories, and a beleaguered working class, Gudrun and Ursula's temperamental differences spark an ongoing debate regarding their society, their inner lives, and the mysteries between men and women. Lawrence considered this to be his best novel.

The best narration I have ever heard
The book gives a fascinating insight into the spiritual and personal struggles of the last century. The outstanding thing in this recording is the narration. Each character is so perfectly depicted with different tones of voice that one would think one were listening to many different actors. It is like listening to a brilliantly acted play.

A pleasant voice does not a good narrator make!
Couldn’t listen to the narrator. Her tone, especially for Hermione was ridiculous and did not express the descriptions of her tone or emotion

Well read but not an enjoyable book for me
From ‘Women in Love’ audiobook review:
Written by a man who gives me the impression he was a past incel prototype, this book is littered with chauvinists. Not an enjoyable read at all really, no likeable protagonists, or interesting events, or plot twists until the very end. I just felt like the writer had a huge chip on his shoulder and this book was one long rant about women.
It was however very well read, with cleverly differing accents and consistent voices for each character. Some descriptions of scenery were beautifully put also.
