Lady Chatterley's Lover, Including 'a Propos of Lady ... (Penguin Modern Classics)

Lady Chatterley's Lover, Including 'A Propos of Lady Chatterley's Lover':  - D.H. Lawrence, Michael Squires This wasn't quite what I expected. It is certainly difficult to see what made it quite so controversial when first published; the sex is by no means explicit and is dealt with briefly. Maybe the fact the lady of the house had an affair with the gamekeeper worried the solid men who argued against it... I thought it was a good read, as the characters evolve throughout the book. Connie grows as Clifford withdraws from her and life. The whole thing balances on several axes.
