Oh dear.... It is sensual piece but omg so boring.... At least for me.
A love story
The book is about Constance who is dissatisfied with the upper class & Mellors who is equally dissatisfied with the lower class. Each find each other through chance & wariness. Their affair is almost reluctant at first but as they learn about each other, it grows steadily. There is also the under-running story of Constance's husband's relationship with his nurse. The book is a wonderful story, it's very well written & is passionate in parts. The ending with a letter from Mellors to Constance is heartwarming & poignant. It makes one yearn for the same loving partnership. Please read with an OPEN mind, not merely for the "rude bits"!
Makes you want to use flowery language
It's a beautiful book, Lady Chatterley's Lover, and a million times better than the prosaic novel-by-numbers rubbish that publishers churn out nowadays. Because, very simply, it's well written.
It is somewhat dated at times, when D. H. Lawrence goes on tangents about the mechanisation of work or the bourgeoisie, but that's the minority of the book. When it sticks to the central plot, it's the kind of book that makes you appreciate the English language. I enjoyed it enormously.
And if you get to the end and just think "What?!", google it. There's plenty of sites that will explain it, as far as they can.
Enjoy.
