false 32067 143 Perhaps the most famous of Lawrence's novels, the 1928 <i>Lady Chatterley's Lover</i> is no longer distinguished for the once-shockingly explicit treatment of its subject matter--the adulterous affair between a sexually unfulfilled upper-class married woman and the game keeper who works for the estate owned by her wheelchaired husband. Now that we're used to reading about sex, and seeing it in the movies, it's apparent that the novel is memorable for better reasons: namely, that Lawrence was a masterful and lyrical writer, whose story takes us bodily into the world of its characters. 3249302 book 1928 Lady Chatterley's Lover (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) total:7749|5:1401|4:2579|3:2592|2:899|1:278| 7749 27173 10997 695 5 41 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1983 Tue Mar 25 14:51:34 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 15 10:56:40 -0700 2009 1 WARNING: This review contains a discussion of the c-word, and I plan to use it.
