Love among the haystacks

Do you like love stories about country side people? Then you should read “Love among the haystacks” by D.H.Lawrence.

This book is about two brothers who are inexperienced in love, finding their love in the hayfield. The two brothers, Geoffrey and Maurice like a German girl named Paula but she loves Maurice so Geoffrey is jealous. During their fight on the haystack, Maurice falls on the ground. At dinner, a tramp comes to ask for a job but the family only gives him some food. That night, Paula and Maurice meet and go for a horse ride. It began to rain so they covered up the haystack but the ladder fell down so they spent the night together. Geoffrey meets the tramp’s wife, Lydia, in the shed. She is wet and cold in the rain, so Geoffrey gives her blanket to cover, some food to eat and warms her feet. Geoffrey gets to know more about her and falls in love with her. The next morning, the four people have a happy breakfast together. Later, Maurice gets married with Paula and Geoffrey and Lydia stays together.

I think that this love story is easy going and comfortable than other ones. Most love stories are about rich people. It just feels like it would only happen to those rich and happy people. However, in this love story, the characters are ordinary people who fight and cry with each other. I think that this book is realistic.

I recommend this book to people who are shy and inexperienced in love. They will get good advices from Geoffrey and Maurice who are also like them. They will feel sympathy with the characters.
