Lady Chatterley's Lover

Connie’s unhappy marriage to Clifford Chatterley is scarred by mutual frustration and alienation. Her solitary existence is contained within the stifling parameters of Wragby, the Chatterley ancestral home.

Connie is presented with a chance to seize happiness and freedom when she finds herself falling into a consuming love affair with the estate’s gamekeeper, Mellors, and begins to discover a world of sexual opportunity and pleasure she had thought was lost to her.

The explosive passion of Connie and Mellors’ relationship – and the searing candour with which it is described – marked a watershed in twentieth-century fiction, garnering Lady Chatterley’s Lover a wide and enduring readership and lasting notoriety.

Madame Bovary, Lady Audley's Secret and Jane Eyre are also available in this Macmillan Collector’s Library series of gorgeous paperbacks featuring four of the most scandalous novels ever published.
