This is less a review than an homage to my crazy mother (now I have you really intrigued, don't I?)

Constance Chatterley feels trapped in her sexless marriage to the invalid Sir Clifford. Unable to fulfil his wife emotionally or physically, Clifford encourages her to have a liaison with a man of their own class. But Connie is attracted instead to her husband's gamekeeper and embarks on a passionate affair that brings new life to her stifled existence.

Really loved, so many passages I thought were exactly how me and my friends think - about connection to others and our place within a community or even within relationships. The characters bemoan the loss of their life and heartiness (for lack of a better word) with the advent of the industrial revolution - and here we are - 100-ish years later and a digital revolution is upon us. Millions of phone zombies walking around (myself included!). A very timely, classic read.
Ok. At first I actually quite liked it. When Connie arrives to the house etc. Then after the first love scene with Mellors I thought: there's something weird about this... Everything turned out even more ridiculous towards the end. The characters were uninteresting in every single meaning of that word and some parts were downright laughable. Irksome and not sure if I would recommend it to anyone, even if it's in the banned books list.
