D.H. Lawrence is among the greatest English novelists of this century. Even now, his work has lost none of its power to shock, and more than 30 years after his death the "Lady Chatterley's Lover" trial fundamentally changed the moral climate of England. Although Lawrence's genius is now universally acknowledged, and his work is taught in schools and universities all over the world, he remains a controversial a figure as ever. This book looks at Lawrence's story from the point of view of the women in his life. The book features accounts of his mother Lydia, portrayed in "Sons and Lovers", his childhood sweetheart Jessie Chambers and later friends such as Katherine Mansfield, Catherine Carswell, Ottoline Morrell and his wife Frieda.

Arts & Literature

To understate, women--and the emotional, sexual, and love relationships with and between them--are central to Lawrence's world, his fiction, and his complicated, conflicted sexual self. Feinstein's book easily finds a place for itself, offering a depth of treatment surpassing that in the strong recent biographies by Jeffrey Meyers ( D.H. Lawrence: A Biography , LJ 5/15/90) and John Worthen ( D.H. Lawrence: The Early Years, 1885-1912 , LJ 7/91) and in the spate of lit crit essays about women in Lawrence's work. His mother is the first woman introduced, followed by his problematic "first love," Jessie Chambers, but this book is anchored in his long, tempestuous relationship with Frieda von Richthofen--as was his life. Novelist/poet Feinstein writes sensitively and colorfully and makes good use of primary sources. Owing to the precise focus, however, this will appeal primarily to extensive collections on Lawrence or to women's studies

The glass alembic

Alex Mendez, bored with the business empire he's created in London, leaves his wife Lalka behind and retreats to an isolated chateau in Provence. Both Polish Jews - and now with time on their hands, as they seemingly have little left to share - they seek their own personal revelations. Whilst Alex broods in Provence, gradually becoming aware of the chateau's ambiguous history during the Second World War, Lalka sets out for Poland with journalist friend Katie. But what was planned as a holiday and an assertion of independence comes to have other significance.   A powerful exploration of the current and past lives of a group of people scarred by the result of war, Children of the Rose is a strong, emotional novel - written with Feinstein's characteristically delicate, brilliant prose - about the way in which memories can destroy lives and also, ultimately, provide redemption.
