Emily Hahn has written a sparkling account of the enigmatic genius from a fresh viewpoint. She tells the fascinating story of Lawrence's obsession with his mother, even long after her death; of his tempestuous life with his wife Frieda, his ideal "gushing woman"; and of his relationships with the many women who became his sweethearts, lovers, and confidantes both before and during his marriage. The Author used his memoirs, she states "a view of Lawrence refracted from the eyes of those who knew him. D.H. Lawrence was an extraordinary person who attracted love and also had a great power to hurt, and it was natural or so it seems to me."
