Synopsis

Yvette, daughter of the Anglican rector of an East Midlands village, is awakened to the possibilities of life and love by an encounter with a dark, handsome gypsy. Published shortly after Lawrence’s death in 1930, this short novel was written in 1926 and was a precursor to Lady Chatterley’s Lover.

About D. H. Lawrence

D. H. Lawrence (1885–1930) was an English novelist, poet, travel writer, and essayist. Lawrence was born and grew up in the mining village of Eastwood, in the English East Midlands, where many of his novels and stories are set. Later in life he travelled the world with his wife and muse, Frieda, producing work set in Italy, Australia, Mexico, and the United States. Persecuted and misrepresented during his lifetime for his frank and open portrayals of sexuality, Lawrence is now a major figure in early twentieth-century English literature.
