The Virgin and the Gipsy

So Lawrence is obsessed with female sexuality? So he uses quite lurid prose to describe how we should run off and find a penis to worship? I am not sure if I'm supposed to like him or revile him, all I know is I both enjoy his writing and find it frustrating at the same time, and wherever I become too frustrated I have to remind myself of what he was trying to achieve, a state whereby men and particularly women could be honest about their sexuality. Yvette, the heroine, may come across as being hopelessly naive and downright annoying at times, but I still enjoyed reading this and found it quite powerful in places. The ending was rather abrupt though, but I suppose that is to be expected from a novella.
