Rating:  - The Fox/The Captain's Doll/The Ladybird: Three excellent post World War I signs of wasteland loss and angst by DH Lawrence
Penguin is reissuing all of the D.H. Lawrence works in an attractive new format featuring hauntingly beautiful cover artistic works.

Hannele questions herself throughout her relationship with the Captain and the intergery of their love. He does not want to love her and all she wants to do is love him.

Rating: - The title fits the content
I had to read this book for a literature class, and it was chosen to be our favorite by far. The discussions deepened from lesbians, co-dependancy, and control. Of the three main characters we actually found five. Each lady has a different personality depending on what name she is called by. We may be reaching but it was interesting backing it up with the text. If you enjoy D.H. Lawrence you will love this novella.
