Set in 1900s, this is a lushly descriptive and highly autobiographical portrayal of a young man growing up in a mining community
Paul Morel is the focus of his disappointed and fiercely protective mother's life. Their tender, devoted, and intense bond comes under strain when Paul falls in love with Miriam Leivers, a local girl his mother disapproves of. The arrival of the provocatively modern Clara Dawes causes further tension and Paul is torn bewtween his individual desires and family allegiances. Set in a Nottinghamshire mining town at the turn of the 20th century this is a powerful portrayal of family and love in all its forms.
