Review of The Book(TB2 Week5)

When I read the book ‘Sons and Lovers’, I was deeply moved by an impressive story, which happened in the early 20th century, and wanted to cry. It describes a miserable mother, Gertrude Morel. Her husband is a rough drunkard, spending lots of time in the pub. He doesn't care about his family. So Mrs Morel is disappointed with him and turns instead to her sons. William is the eldest son, who is unlucky, because he dies of erysipelas while he’s young. Mrs Morel feels very sad and turns all her love and attention to her second son, Paul. When Paul grows up, he falls in love with two young women, Miriam and Clara. Mrs Morel thinks that Paul will leave her in the future because of his lovers. She becomes older and gets worse gradually. In the end of the story, Mrs Morel dies and Paul feels that he loses the whole world.

The writer is David Herbert Lawrence. This book is one of his most famous novels and is based on his own family life. It is really worthy to be read.
