A review by persephones_daughter
The Horse Dealer's Daughter by D.H. Lawrence, D.H. Lawrence
4.0
Spellbinding and captivating are the best words to describe this short story.
The way D.H Lawrence depicts love feels almost religious in a way : the moment you fall in love seems like an earthshattering experience that permanently changes your perception of life. It creates two distincts parts of your life : the "before" and the "after" and it becomes quite impossible to remember how you used to perceive the person you fell in love with, before it actually happened.
I also think that the shortness of this book doesn't impair the narration, quite on the contrary, i think that it serves the plot very well because it emphasizes the sudden change in Jack's and Mabel's lives.
The writing was absolutely gorgeous and the descriptions were incredibly beautiful too.
