About this audiobook
Lady Chatterley's Lover was the subject of one of the most infamous trials of the 20th Century when Penguin were prosecuted under the Obscene Publications Act. However, with expert witnesses for the defence including E.M. Forster, Penguin were acquitted and permitted to publish in 1960. The book became a best-seller largely on account of its explicit scenes of a sexual nature and use of four letter words.

It covers love, class, disability, family relationships, infertility, politics and is read by acclaimed actress Emilia Fox, star of Silent Witness.
