Alvina Houghton is the only daughter of James Houghton, a merchant in the English Midlands whose business sense is insufficient to ensure his family's prosperity. Alvina is independent-minded and struggles to fit in with the society around her-none of the available men spark her interest, and she begins training as a maternity nurse more out of a sense of obligation than of duty.
As her father's business continues to do poorly, he decides to open a theater, with Alvina helping by playing the piano. A traveling troupe of international entertainers arrive, and Alvina soon falls in love with one of them, an Italian named Ciccio.
As the outbreak of the First World War looms, Alvina feels drawn to rural Italy to live with her love. But after having spent a lifetime as an aimless, freethinking, and unconstrained spirit, can she adapt to the expectations of society firmly entrenched in the past?
Like many of D. H. Lawrence's novels, The Lost Girl is built around a realistic depiction of English Midland life and society. Despite modern assessments placing it among the lesser of his novels, it won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Fiction in 1920.

Ebooks from Standard Ebooks are proofread line by line against a scan of the original printed pages, then proofread again from cover to cover. They are also formatted and typeset following a professional-grade style manual, resulting in new editions supporting state-of-the-art ereader technology: automatic hyphenation, popup footnotes, complete and consistent metadata, high-resolution and scalable vector graphics, and ereader-compatible tables of contents. All of this makes the finished ebooks accurate, functional, and beautiful, a pleasure to read. (Waking Lion Press is not affiliated with or endorsed by Standard Ebooks.)
