Man and Wife Wilkie Collins English
Collins is angry in this one, at marriage laws that could trap a woman on a technicality, and at brawny athlete-worship, and the anger drives it. Anne Silvester's plight genuinely tightens your chest, though you'll have to forgive him a few sermons along the way.
Sons and Lovers D. H. Lawrence English
You'll recognize things you've never said out loud, especially in Paul Morel's tangled love for his mother, which warps every romance he tries to have. It's intense and sometimes claustrophobic, set among Nottinghamshire coal pits, and if messy family feeling exhausts you, maybe skip it.
The Lost Girl D. H. Lawrence English
Alvina Houghton chucking respectable spinsterhood in a dying Midlands shop town to follow Ciccio, a broke Italian vaudeville performer, into the bare Abruzzi mountains, that's the whole strange pull of it. Start it for the small-town comedy, stay for how unsettling the ending feels.
The Rainbow D. H. Lawrence English
You settle into the Brangwen family’s restless search for love, freedom, and a life larger than convention, then watch Ursula push hardest against the limits placed on her. Lawrence is sensual, intense, and sometimes heavy going, but the emotional honesty stays with you.
