Daughters of the Vicar
D.H. Lawrence
Foreword by Anita Desai
Looking for acceptance from
his new congregation, the Revd
Ernest Lindley cannot long ignore
the fact that his parishioners
are far from welcoming. Rather
than confront such hostility,
the Lindleys instead become
ever-more isolated: he ‘pale
and miserable and neutral’; she
‘bitter and beaten by fear’. And
having raised their children to
be similarly dispassionate, it
surely seems inevitable that their
daughters should enter suitable,
but loveless, marriages.
