Lady Chatterley's Lover

This novel brought Lawrence the greatest success and the most bitter disappointment. Once, it was considered hardly anything more than a paragon of vile pornography, and subsequently it was recognized as a classic of English prose. The story of Lady Chatterley, torn between a platonic attachment to her paraplegic husband and a very earthly, sensual passion for a handsome gamekeeper, no longer seems scandalous or sensational. It continues to amaze readers again and again with the depth of understanding of human psychology, especially the psychology of love.
