The spellbinding story of Lady Chatterley's Lover, and the society
that put it on trial; the story of a novel and its ripple effects
across half a century, and about the transformative and triumphant
power of fiction itself. 'A hugely daring, intrigue-packed,
decade-jumping doorstopper that teasingly blends fiction and
actuality with wit and panache' DAILY MAIL 'A triumph ... it will
conquer your heart' ELIF SHAFAK 'Glorious and arresting ... A
widescreen novel' OBSERVER 'A passionate, epic joy' MADELINE MILLER
'Powerful, moving, brilliant ... An utterly captivating read'
ELIZABETH GILBERT ________________________ D. H. Lawrence is dying.
Exiled in the Mediterranean, he dreams of the past. There are the
years early in his marriage during the war, where his desperation
drives him to commit a terrible betrayal. And there is a woman in
an Italian courtyard, her chestnut hair red with summer. Jacqueline
and her husband have already been marked out for greatness. Passing
through New York, she slips into a hearing where a book, not a man,
is brought to trial. A young woman and a young man meet amid the
restricted section of a famous library, and make love. Scattered
and blown by the winds of history, their stories are bound
together, and brought before the jury. On both sides of the
Atlantic, society is asking, and continues to ask: is it obscenity
- or is it tenderness? 'Gorgeously written and meticulously
conceived' DAVID LEAVITT
