A novel by Vladimir Nabokov, later made into a film by Stanley Kubrick (Starring James Mason, Sue Lyon) and into a later film by [Adrian Lyne]? staring Jeremy Irons. It takes the point of view of a man who falls in love with a 12 year old girl, marries her mother, and when the mother dies, starts a sexual relationship with the girl. Despite the controversial theme of the book (or maybe because of it), it is Nabokov's most famous work and considered a literary masterpiece.
