Summary

Lady Chatterley's Lover is D. H. Lawrence's last novel. First published privately in 1928, Lady Chatterley's Lover was banned from wider publication in the UK until 1960 and was the subject of censorship and book banning in the United States and elsewhere. Its erotic subject material, colorful language, and discussion of interclass relations were deemed obscene.

Now deemed a classic work of artistic merit written before its time, D.H. Lawrence's thoughtfully penned novel scrutinizes marriage, infidelity, and the things people do to achieve physical and emotional happiness. The novel's frank approach to sex and desire infuses Lady Chatterley's Lover with a modern sensibility that rings as true and thought-provoking in the present as upon its first scandalous publication.

A badly written story redeemed only by its social perspective

The narration was awful- the colloquial dialogue was beyond bad. It was badly edited with one or two mistakes left in. Story was only salvaged by its historical background. Characters were badly drawn and inconsistent 50 Shades of the early 20th century.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
