Sons and Lovers, Lawrence's third published novel, was written by the author at the height of his literary powers.

I look over at my fiancé — Oops! Husband now. He smiles. This is the grin I wake up to in the morning — like I am the very thing he’s been looking forward to. It’s only been eighteen months. A whirlwind romance, I know, but he is the one for me. I knew it the day I met him. As corny as that sounds, my parents were the same way. We’re going to my new husband’s quiet little cabin in the woods for our honeymoon.

Sons and Lovers, D. H. Lawrence's first major novel, was also the first in the English language to explore ordinary working-class life from the inside. No writer before or since has written so well about the intimacies enforced by a tightly knit mining community and by a family where feelings are never hidden for long. When the marriage between Walter Morel and his sensitive, high-minded wife begins to break down, the bitterness of their frustration seeps into their children's lives.

Rozmaryn never knew his mother. When he finds an old photograph of her in the company of a stranger, he goes looking for answers. What he finds is Tefil.

Mould, Tefil argues with full conviction, is the only truly unconquerable living thing—it survives being eaten and digested, it outlasts civilisations, and it is destined to consume everything, including humanity itself.
