“Lady Chatterley’s Lover” is a novel by D.H. Lawrence, first published privately in 1928 and then openly in 1960. The book tells the story of an affair between Constance Reid (Lady Chatterley) and Oliver Mellors, the gamekeeper on her husband’s estate.

The novel explores the themes of class, sexuality, and the constraints of society. It was controversial for its explicit descriptions of sex and its critique of the British class system. At the time of its release, the book faced significant censorship and was the subject of a famous obscenity trial in the United Kingdom, which it won, allowing it to be published unexpurgated.

The story is set in post-World War I England and begins with Constance’s marriage to Sir Clifford Chatterley, a wealthy and intellectual man who becomes paralyzed from the waist down due to a war injury. Feeling neglected and emotionally unfulfilled, Constance embarks on a passionate and liberating affair with Mellors, which challenges societal norms and her own beliefs about love and loyalty.
