Women in Love

Two sisters - two contrasting love affairs. Gudrun Brangwen, an artist, becomes deeply involved in a destructive entanglement with the industrialist Gerald Crich. Ursula, a schoolteacher, embarks upon a happy relationship with alienated intellectual Rupert Birkin. After a double tragedy for Gerald, the four head to the Austrian Alps for a holiday. There, the two men are confronted by feelings they have for each other, while Gudrun begins an intense friendship with an artist from Dresden. Enraged, Gerald takes drastic action that will have lifelong consequences for them all. The book was made into a movie, also called 'Women in Love', in 1969, starring Alan Bates, Oliver Reed, and Glenda Jackson. This turbulent tale of love and loss is perfect for fans of E. M. Forster's 'A Room with a View' and the work of Elizabeth Gaskell.
