Lady Chatterley's Lover

Lawrence’s scandalous novel explores the emotions of a lonely woman trapped in a sterile marriage and her growing love for the robust gamekeeper of her husband’s estate—with an introduction by Kathryn Harrison. The basis for the major motion picture starring The Crown’s Emma Corrin and Unbroken’s Jack O’Connell Inspired by the long-standing affair between D. H. Lawrence’s German wife and an Italian peasant, Lady Chatterley’s Lover follows the intense passions of Constance Chatterley. Trapped in an unhappy marriage to an aristocratic mine owner whose war wounds have left him paralyzed and impotent, Constance enters into a liaison with the gamekeeper Mellors. Lady Chatterley’s Lover, considered one of the most remarkable literary works of the twentieth century, was banned in England and the United States following its initial publication in 1928.
