It is 1930, and D. H. Lawrence, exiled from his native England, is dying. As the Mediterranean glitters beneath his window, he drifts in and out of visions of the past. He relives the early years of his marriage, when, in an English countryside taut with the threat of war, his desperation drove him to commit a terrible betrayal. And there is another place and time, more like a dream than a memory, of a woman on an Italian balcony, her chestnut hair red with summer. 1959. Jacqueline Kennedy 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. In Cambridge University library, the moon bright outside, a young woman and a young man meet amid the stacks, and make love in the restricted section. Their different stories loop and entangle, until a jury enters a court and the world looks on. As the trial unfolds, on both sides of the Atlantic society asks, and continues to ask: is it obscenity or is it tenderness?
