This book was completely engaging, it was well written by Skip Hollandsworth. It makes me wish more books were written about this time period. I found myself wanted to go and check out all of the sites, most of which are now parking garages.

Suswatibasu (1702 KP) rated Lady Chatterley's Lover in Books
Oct 10, 2017 (Updated Oct 11, 2017)
Rather formulaic period novel
Another period tale of a woman with little power. She seems to run from one man to another in order for survival.
Connie Reid marries Clifford Chatterley, the scion of an aristocratic line. After a month's honeymoon, he is sent to war, and returns paralysed from the waist down, impotent. She becomes increasingly isolated after he husband becomes more and more frustrated with his disability. At which point she becomes acquainted with - wait for it - the groundskeeper/gardener. They have a tumultuous love affair as a result.
I think this was rather generic and typical of novels at the time such as Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary. Expect affairs and dramatic leading ladies.
