Lady Chatterleys Lover (Paperback)

Perhaps the most famous of Lawrences novels, the 1928 Lady Chatterleys Lover is no longer distinguished for the once-shockingly explicit treatment of its subject matter–the adulterous affair between a sexually unfulfilled upper-class married woman and the game keeper who works for the estate owned by her wheelchaired husband. Now that were used to reading about sex, and seeing it in the movies, its apparent that the novel is memorable for better reasons: namely, that Lawrence was a masterful and lyrical writer, whose story takes us bodily into the world of its characters.
