O ovoj e-knjizi
Hester appears to have it all - marriage, a nice home, three children and a stimulating job.
But it is not enough. For no matter how much she and her husband earn, she spends more.
Driven by a desire to be loved by his mother, young Paul starts betting on the horses with the family's gardener.
He wins, wins and just keeps winning. But, as quickly as he hands her the money, Hester has splurged it away.
Then, as Derby day approaches, the spooky secret of Paul's endless run of luck is revealed.
As tragedy beckons, will Paul win his mother's love?
This book is perfect for fans of Edgar Allan Poe and Ernest Hemingway.
It was made into the 1949 fantasy film 'The Rocking Horse Winner', starring John Howard Davies, Valerie Hobson and John Mills.
DH Lawrence (1885-1930) was an English writer and poet. He was at the centre of a great deal of controversy during and after his life, with the explicit nature of some of his novels leading to censorship and protests. Many critics admired his imaginative and deeply descriptive style, though. Among his best-known novels are 'Sons and Lovers', 'Lady Chatterley's Lover', 'The Rainbow' and 'Women in Love'.
