Lady Chatterley's Lover

Book • 2012
The novel centers around Lady Constance Chatterley, who is married to Sir Clifford Chatterley, a wealthy and paralyzed war veteran.

Constance's marriage is emotionally and physically unfulfilling, leading her to an affair with Oliver Mellors, the gamekeeper on her husband's estate.

The relationship between Constance and Mellors highlights the class differences and the search for integrity and wholeness through a balance of mind and body.

The novel is known for its explicit descriptions of sexual intercourse and its reflection on the impact of industrialization on modern society.

It ends with Constance and Mellors separated but hopeful for a future together once their divorces are finalized.
