But before reading a little synopsis first, I will include it below ...

A profoundly moving, luminous novel revolving around D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover, Tenderness is an endlessly insightful meditation on art, politics, betrayal and the nature of intimacy. Signed Bookplate Edition A standard edition is available here. D. H. Lawrence is dying. Exiled in the Mediterranean, he dreams of the past. There are the years early in his marriage during the war, where his desperation drives him to commit a terrible betrayal. And there is a woman in an Italian courtyard, her chestnut hair red with summer. Jacqueline and her husband have already been marked out for greatness. Passing through New York, she slips into a hearing where a book, not a man, is brought to trial. A young woman and a young man meet amid the restricted section of a famous library, and make love. Scattered and blown by the winds of history, their stories are bound together, and brought before the jury. On both sides of the Atlantic, society is asking, and continues to ask: is it Obscenity - or is it Tenderness? Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC ISBN: 9781526649300 Number of pages: 640 Dimensions: 234 x 153 mm MEDIA REVIEWS 'What a triumph of skill and imagination is this powerful, moving, brilliant novel! I've never read anything quite like Tenderness, and I doubt I ever will again. This is more than a book about a book; this is a book about living - about really living, at the most dangerous and beautiful edges of the human experience. I stand in awe of Alison MacLeod. She is a novelist operating at the peak of her powers ... Tenderness is an utterly captivating read, and I came away from it with this astonished thought: There's nothing this writer can't do.' - Elizabetj Gilbert 'Tenderness is a triumph and it will conquer your heart. Stunning, illuminating, but also, profoundly moving.' - Elif Shafak 'As sublimely crafted as a novel could ever be. I'm in awe of Alison MacLeod's powers. Tenderness is an intricate, mesmerising tapestry of love and regret, prudery and desire, loneliness and togetherness, loyalty and betrayal, and the enigmas and conundrums involved in the art of committing these experiences to the page.' - Isabella Tree 'Gorgeously written and meticulously conceived, Alison MacLeod's Tenderness presents history as it didn't happen, and in so doing casts a new light on history as it did happen.' - David Leavitt 'Alison MacLeod has bored deep into significant cultural fault-lines of the twentieth century: D. H. Lawrence's grappling with Edwardian England's psychological timidity; America's moment of political optimism with the Kennedys; the trial of Lady Chatterley's Lover. She has disentangled connections - roots - between them and their participants, and emerged with a great sweeping symphony of a novel.' - Tim Pears 'Magnificent ... MacLeod covers an astonishingly broad range of incidents, eras, and themes in vivid prose, and depicts Lawrence's supporters and opponents with equal insight and empathy ... Triumphant ... This places MacLeod among the best of contemporary novelists.' - Publishers Weekly 'Praise for Alison MacLeod: 'Full of simmering tension, resentment and unexpressed passion... A bold, cleverly told story from a writer who knows exactly what she's doing.' - Viv Groskop, The Observer 'MacLeod is dazzlingly good at evoking a whole life through a single snapshot and at bending and stretching her prose as she moves between an impressive range of narrative personae.' - Lara Feigel, The Guardian 'MacLeod has an engaged delight in the stuff of life.' - Times Literary Supplement 'Like a piece of finely wrought ironwork, uncommonly delicate but at the same time astonishingly strong and tensile; it's a novel of staggering elegance and beauty.' - The Independent 'A writer of great descriptive power... Like her modernist forebears, Macleod knows that life and death, the terrible and the mundane always co-exist - her genius lies in illustrating these truths while simultaneously spinning a bona fide pageturner.' - Daily Mail 'The author's grasp of emotions, and history of art as well as politics, lend depth and charge... [There is also] the sensuality of MacLeod's prose, whether dealing with art, desire or love; and her uncanny way of allowing us to experience the thought processes of her characters as if they are traversing our own brain synapses.' - Independent on Sunday 'MacLeod's fictions are modern indeed. They are fragmentary evocations of desire and its mysteries, passing glimpses into minds and hearts.' - The Guardian * 'Alison MacLeod is a strikingly original voice. Her stories create intimate worlds ... and make the reader live in them with an intensity which is haunting, disturbing and above all beguiling.' - Helen Dunmore Show more
