Set in Nottinghamshire, just after the Great War, the story explores the social, psychological, and sexual mores of the early Industrial Age, when the fictitious Lady Chatterley and her estate gamekeeper, Mellors, began their adulterous affair. Once banned for its sexual content, the story is about loneliness, and the longing for simple, uncomplicated sexual contact between a man and a woman. It is a beautifully written novel by one of England’s most eminent fiction writers.
