Sons and Lovers

Paul Morel is a budding artist, who is forced to choose between his opinionated, but caring mother, and the woman she detests, his one true love. Torn between his passion for Miriam, and his need for independence, versus his attachment for his mother, Paul struggles to define himself and his life. Set in the Nottinghamshire coal fields in the early 1900s, this semi-autobiographical novel is one of the most-read novels of the 20th century. Rated #9 on the 100 best novels list, this is widely regarded as D. H. Lawrence’s masterpiece.
