She was cut off from everything she belonged to."In this most under-valued of his novels, Lawrence once again presents us with a young woman hemmed in by her middle-class upbringing and (like Ursula Brangwen in The Rainbow) longing for escape. Alvina Houghton's plight, however, is given a rather comic and even picaresque treatment. Losing first her mother, a perpetual invalid, and later her cross-dressing father, a woefully ineffectual small-scale entrepreneur, Alvina feels doomed to merge with the tribe of eternal spinsters who surround ...

At its heart, this is not so much the story of two might-be, could-be lovers whose blossoming liaison threatens to destroy the marriage of an upper-middle-class London lawyer as a study in family dynamics, exploring how different members of the lawyer's extended family respond when confronted with evidence of this liaison.

(Summary by Peter Dann)
