D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover is a controversial novel exploring class, sexuality, and the search for authentic connection through the affair between an aristocratic woman and her gamekeeper. Through frank depictions of sexuality and critique of industrial society, Lawrence creates a work that scandalized readers and was banned for decades. The novel insisted that physical passion and emotional intimacy are essential to human flourishing, challenging both Victorian morality and modern alienation.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Lawrence refused to separate body from soul or pretend that sexuality isn't central to human experience. This novel reminds us that the most censored books are often the ones telling truths society doesn't want to hear, and that class barriers are meant to be crossed.
