This was a much better collection of short stories by D.H Lawrence. There are moments of poetic prose that highten the senses and refine the language to such an extent that we can almost feel the settings that they are based in. The set-up is clear: portraitures of characters- yet, this feels like a more refined assemblage of plots and incidents than the previous volume of work that I've read by D.H Lawrence. Overall, it was a decent read and is encouraging me to go deeper into Lawrence's oeuvres.
