Il Duro was my introduction to D.H. Lawrence but I am not sure it was the best place to start. It contains writings from his travels in Italy and I think travel writing is something on its own that not everyone will enjoy.

For me it was lukewarm, the writing was okay but I felt there was a lot of repetition as he goes about his travels. For me, it was not enough to add more by Lawrence to my TBR, but if you have read and enjoyed some of his other works, feel free to recommend them to me.

    I’ve not read his travel writing, but it seems to me that travelogues may not be typical of his work. Are you planning on reading more by him?

      I don’t have anything yet, but if you say something is nice, I would like to try something more typical for his style.

        Oh, I don’t get on with D.H. Lawrence. At all. However, I’m always interested to see what other readers make of his work.

The author

After a day of work, Marjolein likes to wind down with a book or two, or five! Unapologetic reader of at the very least three books at any given time, she apparently is unable to settle on a favorite genre.

She might pause her audiobook just long enough to discuss books online.
