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.
