        Rip's impressions

        The novel is a prequel to Women in Love, looking back to the 19th century however with a more modern free thinking view. Nevertheless prose and theological reflection are dense at times.

        first line

        The Brangwens had lived for generations on the Marsh Farm, in the meadows where the Erewash twisted sluggishly through alder trees, separating Derbyshire from Nottinghamshire.
