Through the story of Lawrence's writing of "Lady Chatterley's Lover," the historic obscenity trial that sought to suppress it in the United Kingdom, and the men and women who fought for its worldwide publication, Alison MacLeod captures the epic sweep of the twentieth century from war and censorship to sensuality and freedom. Exquisite, evocative, and grounded in history, "Tenderness" is a testament to the transformative power of fiction.
