In this book, Lawrence is in usual top form in describing the longing of a young girl, a virgin, for the slightly unconventional. Her vision of her future being a stayed and commonplace marriage to one of the local boys of character and money, she longs for something else before that fate befalls her. She does find that love, very much by accident.
She comes across a Gypsy and she falls deeply and viscerally in love with him. Yet, she is coy and she is proper about it. Although she badly wishes to be with him, she understands the potential scandal of such a union. Her father being one that is a non-believer, despite his position as the rector; she sees his revulsion for those things of the body. The rector's wife had left him for an impoverished boy. She sought something the rector just could not provide to her.
Even though she was his everything, he was not able to make her feel the love she wished deeply even to her bones.

It was a matter that had to be satisfied and soon. But how to do so, without being seen as a prostitute by her own family; that was the mystery and the beauty of the book. Finally, amongst a great flood and terror that is more frightful than can be imagined, she finds herself with the Gypsy in her own bedroom, safe from the outside world of people because of the isolation and protection afforded by an unanticipated flood.
Here she makes the passionate love to him that she had heretofore only dreamed about. Here she becomes a woman, and becomes a lover at the same time. As always, Lawrence fills the text with serious metaphor and memory. He uses symbolism, systematically revealing the undercurrents of his character's huge love and anticipation with thinly veiled double entendres and images.
This book is specifically recommended for Lawrence readers, but in addition, the book is highly recommended to those seeking love and those fulfilled in love. A young woman living a restricted life in the parsonage of her rector father miles from the nearby small town is restless and rebellious mostly emotionally and waiting for something to happen, some great love to come along, at least a way out of her staid life.
When she meets a handsome, prideful, and slightly sinister gypsy, her senses come alive. When he saves her from a flood and spends the night with her perhaps? Lawrence is a great writer of human emotion, although his style for describing things is unique and may need getting used to. He has to be read in the context of his times.
The Complete Short Novels
Lawrence was a master of subtle seduction in this novel. I loved how simple the storyline was, how it seemed to go quietly from paragraph to paragraph without pomp, but the secret sensation that something sensual was afoot. Lawrence's remains are here in New Mexico, on his former ranch that the University of New Mexico refuses to maintain. The most likely story is that his ashes were "vitrified," that is, place in a large glass slab by his wife, Frieda, to whom this book is dedicated. UNM's position is that "no one reads Lawrence anymore" and besides, we have to have enough money to pay our losing football coach more than a million bucks a year.
Admittedly the reviews on this book at Amazon are not numerous, and we can only "revive" him one read at a time. Cambridge Lawrence Edition Penguin Classics , and realized how much I had missed the first time around. And I was not disappointed.
