The Rainbow
D. H. Lawrence · 1915 · 427 pages
The Brangwen family has lived in Nottinghamshire for generations. The Rainbow tells the story of the three generations of Brangwens who live at Marsh Farm from 1840 to the early 1900 s. In this book, D. H. Lawrence explored the impact of sexuality upon human relationships with such frankness that, shortly after its publication in 1915, it was brought to trial for obscenity.

“This is a book all women should read, to find out how we became what we are in the modern world; ditto all English people. Lawrence is the great analyst of transformation and change and self-realization, and this novel — about three generations of an English family — leaves readers with the skills to continue that analysis in their own living of life.”↗
