The Rainbow

'The rainbow stood on the earth. She knew that the future was hers as much as the past.'

First published in 1915 and often ranked as one of the best novels of the twentieth century, The Rainbow is a passionate tale of desire, struggle and the search for personal freedom.

As bold as it is lyrical, The Rainbow traces three generations of the Brangwen family as they navigate love, desire, identity and social change in rural Nottinghamshire. Centred on the spirited Ursula Brangwen, the narrative explores her struggle for independence and self-fulfilment in world driven by traditional social conventions. Through vivid prose and an intimate insight of his characters' emotional lives, Lawrence examines the complex dynamic between individual passion and societal expectations, resulting in a powerful portrait of human longing and transformation. This audiobook edition is expertly read by Jonathan Keeble. David Herbert Lawrence (1885 – 1930) was a British novelist, poet and literary critic.

Today, he is considered a key figurehead in modernist literature.
