Black Cat SONS AND LOVERS + CD ( Reading & Training Level 5)

Love

Mrs Morel is a strong, intelligent, domineering woman. Her marriage to a miner is not a happy one. She is antagonistic to her husband and gives all her love to her sons. The Morels’ younger son Paul grows up close to his mother. As an adolescent and a young man, he is torn between a passionate love for his mother and his lovers Miriam and then Clara.
