I love this book. It's about family, love affairs and how a mother can live through her son's life when her own is a failure. Mrs. Morel is a lady descended from a good family . That's way she cannot give up her nobility and implements it to her children as a the way of being, the aim they should reach at. She married a man whom she loved very much, but who lied her in terms of money and destroyed the purity of their feelings .
She turned to her children and made them socially important people in spite of their father being an alcoholic. She is the kind of powerful women who can lead not only families, but also states.
Her firstborn boy, William , whom she loved most, was finally working in London, gaining pretty much and everybody made positive prospects about his future.
Unfortunately, he linked to a insensible girl of high- class who only knew how to love and made herself loved as he said. It amused me when he exclaimed to his mother during a visit:"Mom, she's not like you! She never reads a book!She doesn't think very much..." and the fact was more than true because he caught her staying with a book in her hand without reading and even more irritating without being capable to speak about a single line. Moreover , this superficial girl looked down on his sister, Annie, and treated her like a slave.
Anyway , Mrs Morel had put all her hopes in this man , but she felt he's going to ruin himself with this girl. He soon became ill and died. Mrs Morel was totally devastated until the other son , Paul, got pneumonia and gained all of her attention, of her being. Now she turned to this son.
He had problems with love . He said once to his mother that he couldn't truly love before her death... this is the key of the novel as i see it. Paul Morel was a painter and had an adventurous youth. You have to read it! Her mother's death would have a strong impact upon him. Would he follow her in death or would he find the necessary power to go on?
