I've not yet found a Lawrence (of the DH variety) that I have enjoyed; should I have yet another go with this one?

Simon T

I think so, DP. It's short but powerful, makes very interesting reading alongside David Garnett's Lady Into Fox. Much less, er, sensual than DHL's other works that I've read - a very intriguing little book.

This is a great paragraph. Is it the opening of the book? I have not read this one, though I've read a lot of other novels by DHL. His popularity has plummeted of late but he certainly can write.
