Synopsis

This audiobook is based on literature that was written in a past cultural or historical context, and includes language and depictions of people or cultures that are considered offensive to listeners. Please keep this in mind when deciding if, how and when you’ll listen.Banned in the 1920s, and not released widely until the 1960s, Lady Chatterley’s Lover was considered one of the most scandalous books of all time. Lady Constance Chatterley is stuck in a loveless marriage until she crosses paths with Oliver Mellors, the estate’s gamekeeper. Embarking on a passionate affair with Mellors awakens desires in Lady Chatterley that she had never been able to explore within the confines of straight-laced society. As her journey of sexual self-discovery deepens, Lady Chatterley must navigate the clash of mind and body, industrialization and nature, and firmly established class distinctions.This final novel by D. H. Lawrence has endured in significance even as societal morals have evolved and changed.

Goodreads review by Ruby on October 11, 2022

Definitely worth a read because of how much this book rebelled against contemporary expectations - not only sex, but the musings on modern society (which I really enjoyed) provide a critique of the taboos around the body which still exist today. Also some great nature descriptions - I think this wou......more
