...screen adaptation centers around Richard Somers (Colin Friels) and his wife Harriet (Judy Davis), who represent the Lawrences in the final years of D.H.'s life, just before he loses his battle against tuberculosis.

There are also numerous examples that suggest Berenson relaxed his standards or changed his mind to accommodate Duveen and his brothers, who, as Simpson writes, were...
