The rainbow / Lawrence, D. H

The story of three generations of a Nottingham family whose love affairs move backward and forward across the years.

Set in the rural midlands of England, the Rainbow recounts the lives of three generations of the Brangwen family, but it is far more ambitious than a family history. Using the language of religious experience, Lawrence shows the struggle of the individual human consciousness in confronting an unknowable, infinite reality beyond the commonplace social self.
