Description
A spellbinding historical novel about sensuality and censorship, set against the glittering backdrop of 1928 Mediterranean shores. In this ambitious tale, a dying author in exile races to complete his final novel, one that will spark a revolution in sexual attitudes. The story follows the journey of Lady Chatterley's Lover from its origins to freedom, as it is brought to American and British readers in its full form. But not everyone is pleased with its bold content, and the U.S. government takes action against those who would distribute it. Enter Jackie Kennedy, a woman determined to honor her love for this novel, even in the face of danger. As she attends a hearing incognito, Jackie's interest and outrage are quickly recognized, drawing the attention of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. A thrilling tale of censorship, rebellion, and one woman's fight for freedom, Tenderness is a powerful exploration of the power of literature to shape our world.
