Women in Love is a very tedious read. Sure, the author does use the English language brilliantly. But perhaps too brilliantly; some passages take repeated reading to understand what is going on!But the most frustrating aspect of this book is the characters. None of them are the kind of people you'd want to know. And I never met any people who talk drival about love, relationships, their insecurities, etc. Worse, one of the characters is a thinly disguised D.H. Lawrence - and this character is the worst! :-)I was very disappointed with this novel, but not with its author. With such a rich command of the English language I can only hope that he had put it into better use ... and thus deserving his fine reputation.
