Love among the Haystacks

This summer, I decided to clean out my closet. On the bookshelf in my closet, I found an anthology entitled "D.H. Lawrence, Master's Library". It contains 3 of his novels, and this novella. The book is 35 years old, and has never been read.
I know you are thinking...who has a book case in their closet? Well, why not? I don't have to leave my bedroom to explore my "next reads". I have a system. The books move up toward my nightstand after much thought...but I digress.
I considered getting rid of the book. I mean...35 years! But alas, 3 of the novels in the book are on list: "The Greatest Books" (https://thegreatestbooks.org/). So now you know this: I have a bookcase in my closet, and I am not only obsessed with books, but lists about books!! The website "The Greatest Books" tells you what other lists the book is on. So, being obsessed with lists, I also create shelves on Goodreads. And I also print the lists and put them in my bedside table. (Ok, maybe I do have a problem).
So, I looked through the book and said to myself, "What is the deal with this D.H. Lawrence?" I chose this novella because it was short. The book I have is teeny tiny type, and this selection was only 26 pages.
Well, I loved it! If you like writing that has a distinct sense of place, this is was excellent. It is a sweet story about two brothers who are in competition for the affections of a woman, which puts them at odds... but each find "Love among the Haystacks".
