Constance Chatterley seeks to escape from the confines of a loveless marriage and the upper class surroundings that suffocate her. When she meets the gamekeeper of Chatterley mansion, Oliver Mellors, she is mesmerised and infatuated by his no-nonsense demeanour and passionate touch. The two soon forge a profound bond as a result of their sexual compatibility and sociopolitical views.

Banned until 1960, Lady Chatterley's Lover caused great controversy at the time it was written and was rejected for portraying what was then considered audacious, pornographic content. Of course critical opinion has evolved, and we have now come to see D. H. Lawrence's story as a revolutionary tale and literary masterpiece.

Lydia West (It’s a Sin, Years and Years) gives a breathtaking performance of the timeless classic.

This is a very she-breasted-boobily-to-the-stairs kind of story. Very repetitive with a lot of fires in various loins type of thing. If I was reading this in written form, it would be an immediate DNF for me. Early 1900s smut just doesn't do it for me, I guess. The Audible form however? Lydia West's performance is exceptional. I got reeled into the story right through her voice away despite developing new wrinkles from cringing so hard at the storyline.

Before reading the story, I knew that there would be a page or two depicting the most raunchiest of scenes…never had I imagined that it would be so much more. This young lady was so infatuated with sex…its unbelievable. If it wasn’t for her cupping and “taking in” something, she was getting “cupped” herself. It for sure does not help that her husband, Clifford isn’t able to satisfy Ma’Lady’s physical needs - - -however, its through his encouragement that she finds a lover and begins a torrid affair with all the bells and whistle, with a lil extra for good measure. Each page seems to be peppered with descriptive sex scenes, sneaking off to a cottage, and falling in love. Initially I felt for Clifford, but he too gets in a quickie…or a sad attempt at one. I was upset with Clifford by books end - surprised that your Ladyship didn’t roll him down a hill somewhere; he was such an ass. I did feel Constance pain. Ma’Lady was something else…

Your Ladyship was in those streets! Which one? All of them!

After hearing this book mentioned in so many different places I decided to listen. As DH Lawrence is a master at his craft the novel is complete over rated.

A truly modernist novel

I’ve read a few classic novels from different authors and this was a lot more enjoyable than some of the others. I’m interested in reading more from this author now. I get that it was a taboo novel for the time period. But there was a realness to the story that resonated with me.

One of the Better Classics In my opinion
