Summary

"Glad Ghosts" by D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence is a story set in the early 20th century that looks at how love and loss can haunt people and change their lives. It tells the story through Mark Morier, who remembers his friendship with Carlotta Fell, a rich artist. Carlotta marries Lord Lathkill, but her life is full of challenges and sadness, especially with the shadow of World War I looming. The ghost of Colonel Hale's dead wife, Lucy, hangs over them, making them question their feelings and relationships. As the characters deal with their emotions, they learn important lessons about life, death, and how the past can stay with us forever, finding a glimmer of happiness when Carlotta has a child, showing that new beginnings are possible even after hard times.

About the Author

David Herbert Lawrence was an English novelist, short story writer, poet, playwright, literary critic, travel writer, essayist, and painter. His modernist works reflect on modernity, social alienation and industrialization, while championing sexuality, vitality and instinct. Four of his most famous novels β€” Sons and Lovers (1913), The Rainbow (1915), Women in Love (1920), and Lady Chatterley's Lover (1928)β€” were the subject of censorship trials for their radical portrayals of romance, sexuality and use of explicit language.
