LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER, 1928, Penguin Books

A bit slow to start, but fairly easy to read. About a lot of different issues from the time it is very descriptive. Covering class issues, industrialisation and the masses, the great divide between the working 'common' man, and 'lord of the manor'. Connie has found herself as Lady of the house, and is not comfortable with the social duties put on her by this. She begins to despise the upper classes, and at the smae time is repulsed by the masses. She's stuck in the middle - married to Lord Chatterley, and in a relationship with Mellors the gamekeeper.
