Married to Clifford, a war invalid, Constance Chatterley finds in Oliver Mellors, the estate's gamekeeper, a passion that draws her away from her empty marriage.

For reading groups and readers of British classics who want to debate morality, desire and social class.
David Herbert Lawrence was an English novelist, short story writer, poet, playwright, literary critic, travel writer, essayist, and painter. His modernist works reflect on modernity, social alienation and industrialisation, while championing sexuality, vitality and instinct. Four of his most famous novels – Sons and Lovers (1913), The Rainbow (1915), Women in Love (1920), and Lady Chatterley's Lover (1928) – were the subject of censorship trials for their radical portrayals of romance, sexuality, and use of explicit language.
