内容简介
The Lost Girl, D. H. Lawrence’s forgotten novel, is a
passionate tale of longing and sexual defiance, of devastation and
destitution.
Alvina Houghton, the daughter of a widowed Midlands draper, comes
of age just as her father’s business is failing. In a desperate
attempt to regain his fortune and secure his daughter’s proper
upbringing, James Houghton buys a theater. Among the traveling
performers he employs is Ciccio, a sensual Italian who immediately
captures Alvina’s attention. Fleeing with him to Naples, she leaves
her safe world behind and enters one of sexual awakening, desire,
and fleeting freedom.
