With her husband's encouragement, she enters into a liaison with Oliver Mellors, the gamekeeper on their country estate in Nottinghamshire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs this illicit relationship grows into tenderness, mutual respect and sensual passion, Constance discovers that true fulfilment requires a real connection of both mind and body. \u003ci\u003eLady Chatterley's Lover\u003c\/i\u003e shocked its original audience with its vindication of adulterous love across the class divide as well as its explicit descriptions of sex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt retains its power today as a hymn to erotic love and as an impassioned treatise on 'tender-hearted fucking' as a means to salvation from the horrors of war and the sterility of modern life. It is all the more poignant that Lawrence wrote this book—three times over—while he was dying from tuberculosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe modern world was not interested in its salvation. Lawrence had \u003ci\u003eLady Chatterley\u003c\/i\u003e privately printed in Italy in 1928, but strict obscenity laws in the UK rendered it unpublishable there for more than thirty years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46495094866156,"sku":"9781841594224","price":35.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/18841273482843.jpg?v=1748468643","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/lady-chatterleys-lover-by-d-h-lawrence-9781841594224","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
