Wintry Peacock by D. H. Lawrence
Wounded whilst fighting in the First World War, Alfred returns to his wife and family in their rural England home. Yet days before his arrival, his wife opens a letter that betrays his illicit relationship with a young Belgian girl. So begins the first of a series of stories in which men and women struggle to reconcile the demands of family and freedom in the midst of the injuries and deaths, infidelities and absences brought on by the war.
Including England, my England, The Blind Man and You Touched Me, this early selection of stories from one of twentieth-century Britain's foremost writers explores all the themes that were dear to Lawrence, and is a powerful portrayal of the devastating effects of the First World War.
