I caught myself myself thinking about the Netflix adaptation of Lady Chatterley as I read your review. The way I see it (not having read the book) 'class clash' is definitely there, and there is tenderness between Lady Chetterley and Mellors. Sexual freedom, however, stands out the most for me. I wonder how the fact of this latest adaptation being directed by a woman compares to other adaptations directed by men and even to the book.
This was an especially fun newsletter to read. I so enjoyed reading about the Chanel exhibit. I'm very sorry about your uncle's passing. It must be bittersweet to think back on the lovely bookish conversations you had together. I hope your auntie is doing well.
