(David Herbert) Lawrence is a story set in Mexico during the early 1900s, that follows English couple Kate and Owen as they struggle with love and question their place in the world. Kate and Owen, outsiders in a foreign land, face tough realities and local customs, like bullfighting, as they try to live their lives in a different world. The story opens with them at a bullfight in Mexico City, where the excitement quickly turns sour as they witness the violence.

About the AuthorDavid Herbert Lawrence was an English novelist, short story writer, poet, playwright, literary critic, travel writer, essayist, and painter.
