A modernist exploration of sexual awakening and romantic entanglement among four characters navigating desire, class, and philosophical difference in post-war Britain, culminating in tragedy.

Growing up in the sheltered confines of a 1920s English coal-mining community, free-spirited sisters Gudrun and Ursula explore erotic love with a wealthy playboy and a philosophical educator, with cataclysmic results for all four.
