DH Lawrence - Daughters of the Vicar

Impoverished sisters - Louisa and Mary - must choose lives governed either by emotion or intellect. Stars Rachel Atkins.

Louisa and Mary, daughters of the impoverished vicar of Aldecross, see only marriage as a means of escape from their routine lives.

The arrival of a new young curate fills them with anticipation, but will his intellectual qualities match up to the more physical attractions of Alfred Durant, the son of a local miner?

DH Lawrence's novella - written at around the same time as Sons and Lovers - is a classic tale of the struggle between emotion and intellect.
