The last novel by D.H. Lyrical and sensual, Lawrence is one of the major works of fiction of the twentieth century. Filled with scenes of intimate beauty, the story explores the emotions of a lonely woman trapped in a sterile marriage and her growing love for a burly gamekeeper on her husband's estate.

The most controversial of Lawrence's books, Lady Chatterley's Lover joyfully affirms the author's vision of individual regeneration through sexual love. The power, complexity and psychological complexity of the book make it a completely original work - a triumph of passion and a celebration of life.

Lawrence's frank portrayal of an extramarital affair and explicit sexual exploration of its central characters caused this book, now considered a masterpiece, to be banned as pornography until 1960.
