Lady Chatterley's Lover 1 Edition  (English, Paperback, Lawrence D. H.)

Lady Chatterley’s Lover is a sensual romance novel by D. H. Lawrence.

Summary of the Book

Constance Chatterley’s sexual life is brought to an end as her husband, Clifford Chatterley, an upper-class, handsome man returns from war, paralysed from the waist down. She begins to crave emotional and physical satiation of her lust, and begins an feisty affair with the gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors. The affair reaches a fiery height, the likes of which Lady Chatterley has never experienced, and she feels herself satisfied through her bodily desires. Her lover leaves her exhausted, sweaty, and craving for more. She understands that despite the class-difference, she needs more than emotional satisfaction and ignoring her bodily desires will only kill her happiness. The novel was considered controversial and ahead of its time when it was first published, and the publications rejoiced in the verdict justifying the book, hailing the jurors as its saviors from a conservative mind not welcoming the unusual.
