The White Peacock by D. H. Lawrence. Narrated by Patrick Barker.
Lawrence’s first novel tells the tale of a love triangle between Lettie Beardsall and her neighbors George Saxton, son of a farmer, and Leslie Tempest, the local mine owner's son. Lettie will marry Leslie but remain sexually attracted George. George also marries but falls victim to alcohol. Inspired by Maurice Greiffenhagen’s painting An Idyll, The White Peacock is both a romance and a novel about class and the industrialization of the English countryside that draws on Lawrence’s youth. Though it bears traces of his apprenticeship as a novelist, The White Peacock is a mature work that anticipates the psychological themes of Sons and Lovers and the gamekeeper character of Lady Chatterley’s Lover.
