Publisher's Summary

D. H. Lawrence's 'The Rainbow' explores themes of love, sexuality, and the struggle for personal fulfilment in early 20th century England. Published in 1915, it follows the lives of three generations of the Brangwen family, focusing primarily on the women, as they navigate societal expectations and their own desires.

Lawrence's controversial depiction of sexuality, one of the book's main elements, contributed to it being banned for eleven years, however, there is much more to The Rainbow than the sexual element; the novel delves into political and social themes, the stifling effect of industrialisation on rural communities, and the increasing tensions between tradition and modernity.

The Rainbow is now widely regarded as a modern classic; Its lyrical power, and enduring relevance ensuring that it continues to fascinate and enthral.

Narrator HELEN LLOYD grew up in Nottingham and has a strong connection with the regional dialect, and with many of the novel's locations. She has lived less than six miles from Lawrence's hometown of Eastwood for the past thirty years.
