Summary of the Book
What happens when a cultured bohemian feels stifled in a sexless marriage to her invalid husband?
She takes on a lover . . .
Constance Chatterley, the wife of Sir Clifford Chatterley, finds herself trapped in a loveless and lifeless marriage. When her husband urges her to have a liaison with someone from their own class, Constance gets attracted to a man from the working class instead-an Oliver Mellors who is her husbands gamekeeper-and takes him as her lover.
In a society that reveres class difference, will an aristocrat woman be allowed her torrid love affair with a lowly man?
A novel notorious for being pornographic and way ahead of its time, Lady Chatterleys Lover brewed up quite a controversy when it was first published in 1928. It was only decades later, in 1960, that its unexpurgated edition could be openly published in the UK.
