Women in Love

'She thought she loved,
she thought she was full of love'

Women in Love explores the lives of the Brangwen sisters, Ursula and Gudrun, and their developing love affairs with Rupert Birkin, an intellectual, and Gerald Crich, an industrialist. The despair of one sister's relationship contrasts with the happiness of the other's as the four clash in thought, passion and belief in their search for a life that is truly complete. The novel is the sequel to The Rainbow and, although written in 1916, it remained unpublished in England until 1921.
