Story follows the love lives of two sisters, one married and one not. 

==========

The battle of the sexes and relationships among the elite of Britian's industrial Midlands 
in the 1920s. Gerald Crich and Rupert Berkin are best friends who fall in love with a pair 
of sisters Gudrun, a sculptress and Ursula Brangwen, a schoolteacher. Rupert marries Ursula, 
Gerald begins a love affair with Gudrun, and the foursome embarks upon a Swiss honeymoon. But 
the relationships take markedly different directions, as Russell explores the nature of 
commitment and love. Rupert and Ursula learn to give themselves to each other; the more 
withdrawn Gerald cannot, finally, connect with the demanding and challenging Gudrun.
