Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen sat one morning in the window-bay of their father’s house in Beldover, working
and talking. Ursula was stitching a piece of brightlycoloured embroidery, and Gudrun was drawing upon a
board which she held on her knee. They were mostly silent, talking as their thoughts strayed through their
minds.
A sequel to Lawrence's earlier The Rainbow (1915), Women in Love continues the story of the Brangwen sisters in the coal-mining town of Beldover. Based in part on Lawrence's own stormy marriage to German aristocrat Frieda von Richthofen, the tale is charged with intense feelings and psychological insights.
