Tenderness, a book by Alison MacLeod
Alison MacLeod's Tenderness is a big, ambitious work that mixes historical fiction, literary passion, and political drama to tell a dramatic story about censorship, freedom, and the lasting influence of books. The story of D.H. Lawrence and the controversial path of his work Lady Chatterley's Lover is at the center of it all. This led to one of the most famous obscenity trials in British history.
Tenderness is told via several voices, including Jacqueline Kennedy, a devoted reader. It looks at how books change our lives, question authority, and start revolutions in both heart and mind.
