Sons and Lovers is the critically-acclaimed story of Paul Morel, a second son who must discover his own identity in the shadow of his mother’s overwhelming presence and influence. A budding artist, Paul must choose between his responsibility to his mother and his desire to explore the world and fall in love. Faced with the chance for a future with two different women, Paul must decide what he truly wants and whose opinion—his own or his mother’s—matters most.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sons and Lovers (second time roung)
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2014

I first read this book as a teenager in the 1960s. The second time round I enjoyed it immensely as It is really an adult book. Lawrence writes beautifully and I enjoyed his appreciation of flowers and other vegetation.

The characters left me in two minds. I disliked the mother. She was emotionally possessive and I think this is why the son, Paul, was such a tortured soul unable to form proper relationships with his lovers. I was uncertain about him - sorry for his shortcomings and yet contemptuous of his inability to break his mother's hold. I felt the father was badly treated by the family who were inspired by the mother. Yes, he was weak, but his children led by the mother showed him no empathy or respect.

The book moves slowly, but this is not a detraction. It is calm and very true to life. It is a bit dated and definitely not for everyone in our fast moving life. There are, however, lessons to be learnt. It is a classic and I am really glad I have re-read it.

A good read and an introspective account of a symbiotic and incestuous family in the 19th century. Our classics book club read it and had a good discussion about each character.

This is a must-read for anyone interested in the development of twentieth century English Lit. Uses many antiquated words which makes it valuable to students desiring to build their word power. It's like serious classical music - not for everyone, but expresses the human condition in a deep and meaningful way.

This Translate House edition is neither original nor unabridged. I bought this as a gift, easier to read than a browning and tattered library copy of the unexpurgated edition. But in this one, the censored passages have not been replaced as I’d expected. Ridiculous.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic after a century
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 28, 2020

This edition has printed Lawrence's original text rather than the expurgated version.
The author's reputation has waxed and waned over the decades, but the consensus is that Sons and Lovers is a work of outstanding merit.
A working class mining community in Nottinghamshire is superbly depicted. The mines are on the edge of unspoiled countryside which results in nature being a integral part of the novel. Lawrence's ability to describe the natural world is unsurpassed.
However, the core of the book is loving relationships including a sexual dimension which was controversial 100 years ago. The principal character is a perfect example of the Oedipus Complex which results in his failing to establish lasting relationships with women other than his mother.
Sons and Lovers merits it's reputation!

J avais un peu peur avant de commencer cet ouvrage, de part sa longueur et son époque, mais j'ai été fort agreablement surprise. L'ecriture est fluide, les personnages très attachants. Cet univers est si bien conté qu'on y adhere instantanément. Un classique à lire d'urgence!
