A strange and sensual love story by the author of The Fox and Lady Chatterley’s LoverBackD. H. Lawrence’s last and most provocative novel – The Virgin and the GipsyDiscovered in France after D. H. Lawrence’s death, The Virgin and the Gipsy is an extraordinary masterpiece of eroticism. A vivid legacy of Lawrence’s most mature theories of morality, this rare and disturbing novel describes a love affair between a sensitive, secluded rector’s daughter and a hedonistic young gipsy.”D. H. Lawrence places sex at the heart of life; without sex there would be no life… [ The Virgin and the Gipsy ] is strikingly original; one will search novels in vain for a parallel.” – The New York Times
