"She had borne so long this cruelty of belonging to him amd not being claimed by him."
Sons and Lovers (1913) is a semi - autobiographical novelby renowned English writer D.H. Lawrence. This story of a working - class family revolves around Paul Morel, a young artistwho is deeply attached to his mother, Gertrude. His relationship with his mother towers over his romances with Miriam Leivers, his repressed, religious girlfriend , and Clara Dawes, a mature and free-spirited woman. The charactersof the alcoholic miner father, and the mother, who resist him in the novel, are to be modelled on Lawrence's parents. The older brother , William, who dies young in the novel mirrors Lawrence's brother Ernest, who passed away.
