What this book is about
Constance Chatterley, married to the paralyzed, cerebral Sir Clifford, begins an affair with their gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors. D.H. Lawrence's controversial 1928 novel uses explicit sexuality to argue for the vital importance of physical and emotional connection — and against the deadening effects of industrial capitalism on human feeling.
