The Princess

I've heard a lot about D. H. Lawrence and his books Women in Love and Lady Chatterley's Lover from my friends. Spying The Princess on a book shelf I decided to give it a try. I think, having read a few of the unfinished short stories, that Lawrence is the type of author that takes a lot of getting used to. His ideas were of course modern in his time, but even now it takes some effort to fall in with his unique writing style. I'm struggling to get through the book and all the unfinished endings don't help. I'm tempted to leave it and try another book.
